But nothing prepared him for what he encountered there in December 2024. This is his unforgettable, unbearably intimate account of one month in a place shattered by Israel’s all-out war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the historian returned to Gaza, he arrived under circumstances unimaginably different from his many past visits since 1980: only a limited number of convoys were allowed into the Strip, and he was one of the few humanitarians able to enter, this time by night. He remained inside for thirty-three days, and emerged determined to bear witness to the devastation—to the Gazans fighting simply to live, every single day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFiliu’s haunting portrait of a land betrayed is a grim work of war reportage, documented with the acuity of a historian; and a lyrical narrative of human suffering, and human dignity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55792417276278,"sku":"9781805265252","price":16.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_38998138_45ee3e11-44d6-4ddd-95f4-135dcdce4d57.jpg?v=1766007290","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781805265252-a-historian-in-gaza","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
