The 51-Day War: Ruin and Resistance in Gaza, by Max Blumenthal (Verso, £14.99)
THE ISRAELI military onslaught on Gaza in 2014 was a crime against humanity. A widespread, systematic and prolonged assault, it killed more than 2,100 people and wounded over 10,500.
Shamefully, it also marked a continuation of Israel’s relentless, almost ritualistic, violent collective punishment of Gazans.
Max Blumenthal’s book is at times a jarring account of the massacre of innocent people. He does not shrink from documenting the obscenity of the Israeli attack, interviewing survivors and graphically cataloguing many of the atrocities which took place across 51 days of intense violence that left no-one in Gaza unscathed.
