This is a summary, and it does not accompany the official 
"The Hundred Years' War on Palestine" by Rashid Khalidi presents a comprehensive history of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict from a Palestinian perspective. It begins with an 1899 letter from Yusuf Diya al-Khalidi, the author's ancestor, warning against Zionist plans in Palestine. Khalidi uses archival materials and family reports to challenge traditional narratives of the conflict as a mere clash over territory. He argues that it's a century-long colonial war against Palestinians, led by Zionists and later Israel, with support from Britain and the U.S. The book covers major events like the Balfour Declaration, the 1948 destruction of Palestine, and Israel’s 1982 Lebanon invasion. Khalidi aims to provide a balanced account, acknowledging Palestinian leadership flaws and the rise of national movements on both sides and offering a fresh perspective on an ongoing conflict.

    On 24 May 1971, based on a telephone call purportedly from Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and her secretary P.N. Haksar, the chief cashier at the Parliament Street branch of the State Bank of India handed over Rs 60 lakh to a stranger posing as the PM's courier. The money was supposedly meant for secret operations in East Pakistan. When the chief cashier approached the PMO for a receipt, he was told that neither Haksar nor the PM had given any such instructions. He had been duped. 
Within a few hours, the Delhi Police recovered the cash and caught the man responsible for the heist, a former army captain-Rustom Sohrab Nagarwala. Subsequent events-which included a botched police investigation, bungling by the lower judiciary, mysterious deaths of the accused and the principal investigator, and Indira Gandhi's inexplicable silence-led to the rise of several conspiracy theories.  
Based on police records, press reports, depositions before the Justice Jaganmohan Reddy Commission and its report, The Scam That Shook a Nation is the first authoritative work on the scam, its investigation and its afterlife as a study in political corruption.
