I'.Iit-"!IIlI.III" I! \\'111 forever he the Nokb.), the

'c.u.r ,,!rOt' Ill", :\ longs ide the creation of the

Sl.Ue of lsr.u-l, !he end of the war led to one

of the Ltrges! forced migrations in modern

history. Around ;l million people were expelled

from their homes at gunpoint, civilians were

massacred, and hundreds of Palestinian

villages deliberately destroyed. Though the

truth about the mass expulsion has been

systematically distorted and suppressed, had

it taken place in the twenty-first century it

could only have been called 'ethnic cleansing'.

Prominent Israeli academic Han Pappe argues

passionately for the international recognition

of this tragedy. His groundbreaking and

controversial work sheds new light on the

origins and development of the Palestinian

Israeli conflict, asking questions that the world

has so far failed to ask to reveal the real story

behind the events of 1948. Based on meticulous

research, including recently dcclassiticd lxrucli

archival material, Dr. Pappc's vivid and timdy

account demonstrates conclusively that

'transfer' - a euphemism for ethnic dt'ansin~

-was from the start an integral part of a

carefully planned strategy, and lit's at the root

of roday's ongoing conrlicr in the Middle East.

I LAN PAP PE is an Israeli historian and

senior lecturer of Political Science at Haifa

University. He is also Academic Director of the

Research Institute for Peace at Givat Haviva,

and Chair of the Emil Touma Institute for

Palestinian Studies, Haifa. He is the author of

a number of books, including A History of

Modern Palestine, The Modern Middle East

and The Israel/Palestine Question.
