Summary

"From the great cartoonist-reporter, a sweeping, original investigation of a forgotten crime. Rafah, a town at the bottommost tip of the Gaza Strip, is a squalid place. The narrow streets are crowded with young children and unemployed men. On the border with Egypt, swaths of Rafah have been bulldozed to rubble. Rafah is today and has always been a notorious flashpoint in this bitterest of conflicts. In 1956, one incident left 111 Palestinians dead, shot by Israeli soldiers -- cold-blooded massacre or dreadful mistake-- reveals the competing truths that have come to define an intractable war
