About this product

Product Information

; Pluto's most accessible book yet on one of the most controversial conflicts of our time; Walks the reader through the entire history of the region; Ideal for undergraduates and the general reader alike; Historical cover age spans 2000 years; There is no other text like this which offers a balanced, focused history of the conflict, complete with endnotes, suggested reading, and a secular explanation of the ancient eras Especially after the September 11 attacks, books on the Middle East are flooding bookstore shelves. Yet, regarding the Palestine-Israel conflict - the most notorious and ingrained conflict of the twentieth century - the general reader is left with very little in the way of introductory explanations. The Palestine-Israel Conflict: A Basic Introduction provides the student and general reader with a comprehensive yet clear and easy rendering of not only the conflict, but the entire history of the region (Canaan and Palestine). By including the ancient background, the common assumption that the Israelis and Palestinians have been fighting for thousands of years is put to rest. Broken up into three sections - Background History, Pre-Conflict, and Conflict - the reader is walked through Ancient Israel, Muhammad and Islam, and on through two world wars and up to the current situation covered on the evening news. Aside from the brief history, the reader is also provided with further direction, such as detailed citing of sources and suggested reading lists and resources (books, periodicals, web sites, etc.). Written in a comfortable style, people confused by myths and death-tallying news coverage now have available to them a balanced and accessible introduction to nucleus of Middle Eastern affairs.
