Summary: An accurate, if slightly biased book on the Middle East
Comment: While the Arab-Israeli conflict remains one of the most difficult and controversial issues in history, This side of Peace sucessfully portrays an oft forgotten part of the conflict: human rights. Due to the fact the reading was part of a school assignment, I was required to do some background checks to insure the accuracy of the work. Here,particularily upon human rights, This side of Peace exels,producing excellent support for her arguements. If one looks up B'Tselem, an Israeli human rights organization's websight, their statistics support Ashrawi's evidence. If you want to read a compelling, well written book which provides a fresh perspective on the Arab-Israeli conflict,This Side of Peace provides excellent insight to Human Rights issues in the occupied territories. The main flaw to the book is the uncompromising, partisan stance to territorial issues, particularily regarding Jerusalem, and very little achknoledgement of Palestinian instigated violence in the
occupied territories. Overall, the book is a well written, compelling arguement for Palestinian Human Rights.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great book about the truth!
Comment: An amazing book for anyone, especially eye opening for those who are unfamiliar with the Palestinian struggle. It is a clear picture of the remarkable struggles the Palestinian people have had to endure under occupation. It is incredibly painful to read some of the harsh brutality the Palestinians have had to live through, but extremely accurate. I applaud Hanan's efforts in writing a book that must have dredged up so many painful memories. Highly recommend it!
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent Backgrounder
Comment: I found this book to be excellent because it provides a good overview the Palestinian-Israeli problem from the point of view of a person living there.
It is disappointing that Ms. Ashrawi does not replace Arafat.
