Description
Suitable for students studying for GCSE examinations, this book looks at the origins and development of the conflict between Israel and the Arab States. It looks at Zionism, nationalism and the impact that World War I made upon this region. The triangular dispute between the Arabs, Jews and the British, which grew out of mandate system is included to provide students with background essential to understanding later events. It provides a balanced account of the conflict since 1948, and considers the developments within Israel, in the neighbouring states and among the Palestinians.
