Palestine in Pieces: Graphic Perspectives on the Israeli Occupation
by Kathleen and Bill Christison

Palestine in Pieces brings personal and pictorial perspectives to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories in the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem.

Former CIA political analysts Kathleen and Bill Christison give a comprehensive description of the occupation and the ways in which Israel dominates the Palestinians: Settlements, the Separation Wall, roads restricted to cars with Israeli license plates, home demolitions on a massive scale, imprisonment and mass killings.

With more than 50 photographs vividly demonstrating the impact of the occupation on the Palestinian people, the authors argue that Israel's long-term intention is to so fragment the occupied territories that any sustainable presence in the land by Palestinians as a nation will be negated.

Reviews
"What is it that forges almost a fellowship of former CIA people ... who speak out with such insight and moral clarity? The answer is to be found in the authors' outstanding book on the Israeli occupation of Palestine. Their authority and humanity, together with their graphic gallery of injustice and courage, make it one of those works to be read should you read no other." --John Pilger

"The Christisons provide an unbearably grim, authoritative, and persuasive account of Palestine under Israeli occupation. PALESTINE IN PIECES is a miracle of truth-telling, enriched greatly by pictures, maps, and first-hand witnessing. It is must-read for anyone concerned with the dark realities of the Israel/Palestine conflict." --Richard Falk, Special Rapporteur for the UN Human Rights Council
