For centuries, Palestine has been at the crossroads of empires, religions, and resistance—its story shaping headlines, identities, and lives to this day.

Do you find it hard to make sense of Palestine's long, complex history? Tired of one-sided narratives that leave you more confused than informed?

This book cuts through the noise to give you a clear, concise, and balanced overview of Palestine's history—from ancient civilizations to modern struggles for statehood. Whether you're a student, traveler, or simply someone who wants to understand one of the world's most enduring conflicts, this is your accessible guide to the facts behind the headlines.

Inside, you'll discover:

  • The roots of civilization in ancient Canaan and the rise of Israel and Judah
  • How empires—from Rome to the Ottomans—shaped the land and its people
  • The rise of Palestinian national identity under foreign rule
  • The impact of British policies and the partition of the land
  • The long struggle for Palestinian self-determination and statehood
  • The ongoing conflict, peace efforts, and what the future may hold
  • If you've ever felt overwhelmed by this topic, you're not alone. But history doesn't have to be complicated or biased. A Brief History of Palestine is designed to inform—not inflame—offering clarity, context, and insight in a straightforward, engaging style.
