5.0 out of 5 stars Unbiased and academic, finally, March 3, 2008
This review is from: The Population of Palestine: Population History and Statistics of the Late Ottoman Period and the Mandate (Institute for Palestine Studies Series) (Hardcover)
This controversial subject has previously been treated with highly charged, political biases. The most obvious being Joan Peters' "From Time Immemorial" which is extremist propaganda.

McCarthy's book is the first truly un-biased, academic work I've seen on historical population surveys in this region and it is performed by a real scholar on this subject that is not an Arab, not Jewish, or someone with an agenda. It should be considered essential reading on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
