Description
This is a concise guide to the Israel-Palestine conflict. There are many different, competing histories of the conflict, however, this book collects those which are based on the most considered historical research.
The book covers key events in chronological order, in each case examining the varied historical accounts and presenting the beliefs of key thinkers across the ideological spectrum, from Edward Said to Binyamin Netanyahu.
Starting the with emergence of the Zionist movement in the nineteenth century, and the figures who shaped it, the authors go on to cover the founding of Israel and its subsequent history, up to and including the 'roadmap for peace', the construction of the wall, the death of Arafat and the withdrawal from Gaza.

Reviews / Votes
'Definitely a must for those who want a short introduction to the conflict. Even for those who are well versed in the events and issues involved, it is useful to have the whole history in such a short space' -- Jordan Times 'A highly recommendable and much-needed brief introductory reading on the complex Palestinian-Israeli conflict' -- Moshe Machover 'A key resource. The authors have produced a very readable, coherent and well-sourced account - giving both the Palestinian and Israeli viewpoints' -- Palestine NewsMore details
