The Definitive Israel-Palestine Reader provides readers with a carefully assembled collection of perspectives on one of history’s most complicated conflicts. Why was this an important book for you to write?

The Israel-Palestine conflict is one of the most deeply complex and emotionally charged issues in modern history. We felt it was crucial to assemble a collection of diverse perspectives that could provide a nuanced understanding beyond the headlines. By curating a range of voices—historians, journalists, policymakers, and those directly affected—we aimed to present a balanced and comprehensive resource that encourages informed discussion and critical thinking. In a time when misinformation and polarization are prevalent, we wanted to offer a book that fosters deeper engagement with the facts and human realities of the conflict.

How much research did you undertake for this book, and how much time did it take to put it all together?

The research process was extensive. We spent several months gathering materials, reading historical documents, reviewing global archives, academic studies, memoirs, and journalistic accounts. Organizing and curating the material—while maintaining balance and clarity—was a meticulous process, but one we found incredibly rewarding.

Did you learn anything in the course of your research that surprised you?

Absolutely. One of the most striking aspects was how often the same events are remembered and interpreted in vastly different ways by different communities. These distinct interpretations get passed down to younger generations and thus even as things change and evolve, things also stay the same.

Can we look forward to more nonfiction releases from you soon? What are you currently working on?

Possibly! Right now we are focused on The Definitive Israel-Palestine Reader, but we enjoyed the project and are open to doing other similar projects. We will see what the future holds.
