This book is a deep cut on international law, its shortcomings, its inbuilt colonial aspects and how it played out in regard to Palestine. While it's not necessarily a 101 book (I'd recommend reading The Hundred Years' War on Palestine by Rashid I. Khalidi before reading this one if you're entirely new to the topic) you don't need any particular knowledge of international law to keep up with Erakat's arguments and what little jargon (there's almost none) is present here is explained. It does a great job of showing how the whole thing while complex, as are most things in this world, isn't actually complicated.
