'The Palestinian Exodus 1948-1998 is highly recommended, as a readable and very well researched book on the subject of Palestinian refugees.' Palestine Solidarity '..deals with an important and often neglected subject...As such, it forms essential reading for scholars and also for general readers concerned with the primary causes of and solutions to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.' The Middle East 'While many of these issues have been written about in the past, the value of this book is that it collects the updated research of recognised experts who present things in a current context. Coupled with legal arguments, the historical facts serve as useful criteria for evaluating the results of the peace process that began a decade ago.' Jordan Times
