Norman G. Finkelstein is the author of A Nation on Trial (with Ruth
Bettina Birn), named a notable book for 1998 by the New York Times
Book Review, and Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine
Conflict.
The wide-ranging scope and demythologising structure of Blaming the
Victims makes it especially relevant at the present time when the
actions of the state of Israel seem to contradict received opinion
as to its nature. The book provides a great quantity of
information, analyses it convincingly and, through an impressive
body of notes on primary and secondary literature, points the
reader in the direction of further information.
