A Timely Masterpiece Dec 07, 2006
Dr. John's two-volume Palestine Diary is a timely masterpiece of scholarship on the most important international issue of our time. It documents important sources which can be found nowhere else.
If read and comprehended by enough persons of influence, this book just might help avert the escalation of the Middle East conflict into World War III.

Explosive power of a nuclear bomb Nov 29, 2006
This book blasts to smithereens the misconceptions and prejudices surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. No one who reads this book will remain politically naive.

His classic shall endure. Nov 22, 2006
If Dr. Robert John were remembered for nothing else, he would be forever remembered for his two volume history, The Palestine Diary.
In a world awash with Zionist propaganda it remains the classic reference work on the subject. Next to "The Holocaust" no subject has been more thoroughly distorted than the history of Zionism in Arab Palestine. The Palestine Diary remains the only complete history of the dispossession of the Palestinian Arabs. In all the years since it was first published in 1970 it remains the most complete and objective study of the subject. Not surprisingly, The Palestine Diary encountered major publication problems. No university press would touch it, despite the endorsement of the world renowned English historian, Arnold Toynbee.
Dr. John himself was dismissed from numerous jobs with major U.S. corporations, all of them fearful of the well known lobby.
The eventual publisher of The Palestine Diary, New World Press in New York, had its presses burned to discourage reprints of the heretical work. The Palestine Diary has always been a difficult work to find. It is so clearly written, well organized and factually unimpeachable that its research is simply devastating to Zionist pretensions. Robert John had many accomplishments in his life besides The Palestine Diary.
But it was his magnum opus and the work which shall overshadow everything else he did. In many senses Robert John was the Jimmy Carter of his time. The Palestine Diary is a much greater work than Palestine: Peace, Not Apartheid. The scholarship is on a much higher plane. Books like Palestine:Peace, Not Apartheid come and go. But The Palestine Diary is the classic which shall remain. Robert John may rest in peace. His classic shall endure.
