Gaza Stay Human – Vittorio Arrigoni/ Introduction by Ilan Pappe – Book Review
Ilan Pappe, a professor of History at the University of Exeter starts his introduction in the book by saying: “ It is first and foremost an eyewitness account of 
an everyman and a true humanist. He was there during the Operation “Cast Lead” and so his daily dispatches came directly from the killing fields of Gaza, and are therefore free of any media distortion or manipulation.”
Gaza Stay Human is an amazing book that introduces the twenty-two day Israeli offensive against Gaza strip in December 2008 and January 2009.
