Acclaimed reflections on the causes and consequences of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Acclaimed reflections on the causes and consequences of the Israel-Palestine conflict
With characteristic rigour and readability, Avi Shlaim reflects on a range of key issues, transformations and personalities in the Israel-Palestine conflict. From the 1917 Balfour Declaration to the 2008 invasion of Gaza, Israel and Palestine places current events in their proper historical perspective, and assesses the impact of key political and intellectual figures, including Yasir Arafat and Ariel Sharon, Edward Said and Benny Morris.
It also re-examines the United States' influential role in the conflict, and explores the many missed opportunities for peace and progress. Clear-eyed and meticulous, Israel and Palestine is an essential tool for understanding the fractured history and future prospects of the region.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Highly recommended for both general readers and academics interested in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Praised by Choice as a must-consult book and noted by The Economist as a valuable collection. Foreign Affairs commends Shlaim's realpolitik reading, challenging traditional heroic narratives. Robert Fisk of The Independent calls it honest and straightforward, while The Observer describes it as an insurgency in the public relations war. The Journal of Palestine Studies highlights it as a timely addition to the ongoing debate.
