The Last Earth: A Palestinian Story

Ramzy Baroud, "The Last Earth: A Palestinian Story"
ISBN: 0745338003, 0745337996 | 2018 | PDF | 280 pages | 5 MB

Foreword by Ilan Pappe

This is a history of modern Palestine like no other: built from the testimony of people who have lived through it. Ramzy Baroud here gathers accounts from countless Palestinians from all walks of life, and from throughout the decades, to tell the story of the nation and its struggle for independence and security.

Challenging both academic and popular takes on Palestinian history, Baroud unearths here the deep commonalities within the story of Palestine, ones that draw the people together despite political divisions, geographical barriers and walls, factionalism, occupation, and exile. Through these firsthand reports—by turns inspiring and terrifying, triumphant and troubled—we see Palestine in all its complexity and contradictions, ever vibrant in the memories of the people who have fought, physically and otherwise, for its future.

A remarkable book, The Last Earth will be essential to understanding the struggles in the contemporary Middle East.
