The Nakba: The Nakba of Jerusalem and the Lost Paradise, 1947-1949, Three Volume Set (Arabic) by Arif al-Arif

This book, even though more than five decades have passed since its publication, remains one of the most seminal and credible Arab references, and the most important Palestinian reference on the 1948 Nakba. His author has witnessed the Nakba first-hand and recorded the developments on a daily basis. He accurately recorded an unmatched number of accounts he heard from Arab and Palestinian officials, activists and ordinary citizens he was keen on interviewing in Palestine and Arab capitals to inquire about the truth.

The book is divided into three volumes: "From the Partition Resolution (November 29, 1947) to the Beginning of the First Truce (June 11, 1948)", "From the Beginning of the First Truce (June 11, 1948) to the Armistice Agreements Between the Arab Countries and Israel, February-July 1949" and "Supplements and Registers of Death".
