The Biggest Prison on Earth: A History of the Occupied Territories

 Drawing on personal stories from both sides of the conflict, NGO records and eyewitness accounts, Pappe’s investigation of the ‘biggest prison on earth’ exposes the brutalising effects of occupation, from the systematic abuse of human and civic rights, such as military roadblocks, mass arrests, property demolitions and house searches, to the forced population transfers, annexation of land, proliferation of unlawful settlements and the infamous Separation Wall that is rapidly turning the West Bank into an open prison.
