Book Reviews
I have not seen anything like this in print: startling revelations about the everyday living conditions of Palestians, under constant control and surveillance by Israelis: Homes are demolished, numerous checkpoints demand hours, sometimes days, of waiting to move from one section to the other, settlers have illegally occupied hills where they live with guns pointed down,and the violent deaths on their streets at the hands of Israelis go for the most part unreported to Western press.
The book is a cry for a balanced investigation of this conflict which is at the heart of the confrontation between the Arab and Western world.

Ms. Dixon takes the armchair reader where most souls would not dare tread. Her descriptive journey through the holy land is both insightful and thought-provoking. A refreshing look behind the news. Don't wait for the edited version. Get it hot off the press.

As one who has studied the Palestinian issue for more than twenty years, I find Jenifer Dixon's "The Holy Land Unveiled," a major contribution to understanding the depth of human suffering and tragedy that has enveloped that region and plunged its people into one catastrophe after another for decades. Based on her recent travels in the Holy Land and across the region, Dixon presents a general view of the plight of the Palestinian people thoughout the past century and delves into most of the major issues affecting them and currently arresting their progress. An updated realistic look at what is going on now is made available to the public. I recommend the "The Holy Land Unveiled" to those trying to understand the situation who realize they are not getting an accurate picture from the media; Dixon's book is the real deal.
