A Masterpiece of the history of Nablus with a scholarly approach

This book documents the most accurate account of the region I have ever read. Others have attempted to do so but they were short of projecting the Micro and Macro dynamics of the ruling families of the area. Professor Doumani's description and approach gives you an insight to the daily lives, politics, and personalities of the time. Excellent Work, I do recommend this book for anyone interested in learning about Palestine.
