"The complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict [are] easy to under-stand in this clear, straightforward, and unemotional history' JOHN MCHUGO, author of A Concise History of the Arabs
AN ACCESSIBLE, ESSENTIAL HISTORY THAT EXPLORES THE ORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT.
The ongoing struggle between Israelis and Palestinians is one of the most bitter conflicts of modern times, with profound global consequences. In this comprehensive and stimulating overview, Middle East expert Michael Scott-Baumann charts its history from the late nineteenth century to the present day.
Each chapter offers a lucid explanation of the politics and includes personal testimony of Israelis and Palestinians whose lives have been marked by conflict. By presenting competing interpretations from both sides, Scott-Baumann examines key flashpoints of the twentieth century, bringing this new edition up to date with a consideration of the war ignited by Hamas's surprise attacks on Israel in 2023. He delineates both the nature of Israeli control over the Palestinian territories and Palestinian resistance - going to the heart of recent clashes.
The result is an indispensable account for anyone seeking to understand the context behind today's headlines, including analysis of why international efforts to restore peace have continually failed
