Synopsis

In this book Smith provides a remarkably objective account of this complex subject, by adopting a long-view approach. The detailed discussion of pre-1948 history reveals how Arab and Israeli attitudes and world opinion have been formed, and how contemporary issues and events can be understood in relation to events dating back to WWI and earlier. Comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of the subject discusses the ongoing conflict in its social, regional and international contexts, from its origins up to March 2006.
