"Ramzy Baroud's book of Palestinian prisoners' stories is a remarkable work. With each story, there is a roll-call of the best of humanity: courage, struggle, determination, generosity, passion, humility and, above all, defiance of injustice. Everyone, especially those of us in the West subjected to unerring propaganda, should read this searing and beautiful book. Then understand all over again that peace and justice are not possible in the world until the Palestinians are free." JOHN PILGER

"The rationale for Palestinian resistance is heightened by having law and morality on the side of demands for an end to the oppressive Israeli occupation and the persistent abuse of fundamental Palestinian rights.." RICHARD FALK, former UN Special Rapporteur on "the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories", Professor Emeritus, Princeton University

“In this must-read ‘history from below’, the Palestinians who tell their stories show prison to be a microcosm of life under conditions of occupation and colonization. powerful and searingly beautiful." CYNTHIA FRANKLIN, Professor, University of Hawaii, Member USACBI
