"This is a refreshing and forthright book by a respected Israeli academic who, after a long career focused on planning issues in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza, is willing to take a stand, to challenge myths, and to say what many dare not say...The West Bank and the Gaza Strip: A Geography of Occupation and Disengagement is highly recommended for its detailed description of the process of Israeli occupation and for its analysis of the core issues of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict...The primary strength of the book is derived from the fact that it is written by an experienced Israeli professor who has witnessed first hand the planning, implementation, and impending failure of Israel's occupation."--Middle East Journal, Vol 60 No 4, Autumn 2006
