Pulitzer prizewinning journalist Chris Hedges issues a call to action urging us to bear witness and engage with the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Beginning the book when he was in Ramallah in July 2024, Hedges draws from his experience doing extensive reporting from the Middle East, including Gaza, for the New York Times.

In A Genocide Foretold, he confronts the stark realities of life under siege in Gaza and the heroic effort ordinary Palestinians are waging to resist and survive. Weaving together personal stories, historical context, and unflinching journalism, Hedges provides an intimate portrait of systemic oppression, occupation, and violence.
