Summary
"Prisoners of History: The Story of Dalia, a Palestinian" is about an orphaned Palestinian student, being educated in Christian schools, and her friend, a young female Israeli journalist. It is a very short, fast-paced, <U+2018>non-fiction novel<U+2019> which reveals disturbing details of the treatment of Palestinian students by Israel's military and feared secret police (Shinbet), who demolish the schools and homes, and incarcerate children in the "Occupied Territories" -- and the brave efforts of many Israelis, including former military officers, who risk their future and welfare to help these students and their families. The book exposes authentic incidents experienced by Israelis and Palestinians. It is written in an easily-readable way, to provide history and information in a unique manner. One of the literary techniques is to put actual information from former Israeli military officers into the dialog of several of the characters."--Amazon
