Through its millennium-long existence, Gaza has often been bitterly disputed while simultaneously & paradoxically enduring prolonged neglect. Jean-Pierre Filiu`s book is the first com--prehensive history of Gaza in any language. Squeezed between the Negev & Sinai deserts on the one hand & the Mediterranean Sea on the other, Gaza was contested by the Pharaohs, the Persians, the Greeks, the Romans, the Byzantines, the Arabs, the Fatimids, the Mamluks, the Crusaders & the Ottomans. Napoleon had to secure it in 1799 to launch his failed campaign on Palestine. In 1917, the Brit--ish Empire fought for months to conquer Gaza, before establishing its mandate on Palestine. In 1948, 200, 000 Palestinians sought refuge in Gaza, a marginal area neither Israel nor Egypt wanted. Palestinian nationalism grew there, & Gaza has since found itself at the heart of Palestinian history. It is in Gaza that the fedayeen movement arose from the ruins of Arab national--ism. It is in Gaza that the 1967 Israeli occupation was repeatedly challenged, until the outbreak of the 1987 intifada. And it is in Gaza, in 2007, that the dream of Palestinian statehood appeared to have been shattered by the split between Fatah & Hamas. The endurance of Gaza & the Palestinians make the publication of this history both timely & significant. ...

A coastal civilisation open to the world. A flourishing port on a major international trading route. This was Gaza`s past. Can it be its future? Today, Gaza is home to a uniquely imprisoned people, most unable to travel to the West Bank, let alone Israel, where tens of thousands once worked, & unable to flee in wartime. Trapped inside a crucible of conflict, the surprise is that so many of them remain courageous, outspoken & steadfast. From refugee camps to factories struggling under economic stranglehold & bombardment, Donald Macintyre reveals Gaza`s human tragedy through the stories of the ordinary people who live & work there. He portrays the suffering through siege & war, the failings
- including those of the international community
- that have seen opportunities for peace pass by & the fragile, lingering hope that Gaza, with its creativity & resilience, can be part of a better future for the Middle East.
