On March 29, 2002 the Israeli army launched Operation Defensive Shield, the largest military offensive against Palestinian civilians since the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
When the operation ended on April 21, Israel had destroyed Palestinian's economic and social infrastructure, levelled large swathes of residential areas, killed 220 people, injured hundreds more and arrested thousands.
This book documents these events through a collection of witness testimonies by Palestinians and by Israeli and international peace activists. Deeply moving and courageous, these narratives offer a powerful and intimate account of the daily reality for Palestinians who endured Ariel Sharon's military strategy.
'A harrowing and tragic report on the continuing destruction of Palestine by the state of Israel. I am grateful for the witness of this book and its clarion call to act for justice in Israel and Palestine before it is too late' -- Marc H. Ellis, University Professor of American and Jewish Studies Director, Center for American and Jewish Studies, Baylor University
