Ilan Pappe has long been a controversial figure in Israel, here; he
gives a full account of his break with mainstream Israeli
scholarship and its consequences. Growing up in a conventional
Israeli community and influenced by the utopian visions of Theodor
Herzl, Pappe was barely aware of the Nakba in his high school
years. This intellectual biography traces his journey of discovery,
from the whispers of Palestinian classmates, to his realisation
that the 'enemy's' narrative of 1948 was correct, and his vow to
protect the memory of the Nakba. For the first time he gives the
details of the formidable opposition he faced in Israel, including
death threats fed by the media, denunciations by the Knesset and
calls for him to be sacked from his post at Haifa university. This
revealing work, written with dignity and humour, highlights
Israel's difficulty in facing up to its past and forging a
peaceful, inclusive future in Palestine.
