Authors who are two leading voices in the struggle for the liberation of Palestine provide a clear and substantial analysis of the political framework surrounding this region in a desperate deadlock. From attacks on schools and hospitals to the indiscriminate use of white phosphorus, Israel's behavior during "Operation Cast Lead" has shocked even some of its most ardent supporters. In "Gaza in Crisis," Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappé examine the consequences of this disaster and place the Gaza slaughter in the context of Israel's ongoing war against the Palestinians. This is a rigorous, historically informed, and necessary analysis of the situation that will be enthusiastically received by all those who wish for Chomsky and Pappé's views on yet another political disaster.
