Based on recently declassified Israeli, British and American state and party political papers and on hitherto untapped private papers, it traces the stages of the 1947-9 exodus against the backdrop of the first Arab-Israeli war and analyses the varied causes ...
'What is so striking about Morris' work as a historian is that it does not flatter anyone's prejudices, least of all his own', David Remnick remarked in a New Yorker article that coincided with the publication of Benny Morris' "1948: A History of the First Arab-Israeli War". With the same commitment to objectivity that has consistently ...
Benny Morris' The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem was published in 1988.

This ...
