Long reads is supported by One World publications.

One recently published title from One World that you might enjoy is a very short history of the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Ilan Papae, author of renowned books like The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, argues that Israel has been a settler

A very short history of the Israel-Palestine conflict is available now at all good bookstores.
