 \n…………………………………………………………………………………………\n“Max 
 Blumenthal audaciously takes in-your-face, on-the-ground journalism into 
 the realm of geopolitics.”\n       —Juan Cole, author of The New Arabs  
 and Engaging the Muslim World\n       \nOne year ago Israel launched air 
 strikes on Gaza, followed by a ground invasion. The ensuing 51 days of this 
 assault left more than 2200 people dead, the vast majority of whom were 
 Palestinian civilians, including more than 500 children. 10,000 homes were 
 destroyed. The United Nations has stated that 300,000 Palestinians were 
 displaced. Max Blumenthal was in Gaza throughout this catastrophe. In this 
 explosive masterpiece of intimate reportage, he reveals the harrowing 
 conditions and cynical deceptions that led to this ruinous ‘war’ and 
 tells many of the human stories otherwise buried. \n\nHe brings Gaza to 
 life and details the ferocious clashes when the Israeli military occupied 
 this desperately poor strip of land.  He discloses the truth behind 
 numerous Israeli claims and such contentious issues as the use of civilians 
 as human shields by Israeli forces, the official targetting of Palestinian 
 civilians and other war crimes of the Israeli armed forces. He carefully 
 examines the military doctrine responsible. He provides exceptionally 
 moving testimonies from residents. The ravaged population of Gaza was left 
 out in the cold, with no relief from the international community and 
 inadequate coverage by mainstream media. Here at last is the truth of this 
 globally condemned war.\n\n“Max Blumenthal has spent the last decade 
 transforming himself into one of  the most vital voices in journalism 
 today, always speaking truth to power with fearlessness and integrity.” 
 — Reza Aslan, author of Zealot \n\nMax Blumenthal is the author of 
 Republican Gomorrah and Goliath. A senior writer for Alternet, his writings 
 have also appeared in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The 
 Nation, The Guardian, Salon.com, and many others.\n\nHosted by Philip 
 Maldari, the veteran host of KPFA’s Sunday Morning Show. \n\nPhilip
