"Published by OR Books, it's "an oral history that reads like an epic poem," a "poetry of witness" serving as "evidence of what occurred," a grim chronicle of Occupation in "granular, human terms" told by "a man of his people" in "writing born of fire" - often in English, to reach a wider audience. It was compiled by student and colleague Yousef Aljamal, who calls Alareer "the giant of the Palestinian narrative."
