Synopsis:

For years people have been asking for a resource that provides concise, factual information on the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Myths and Facts fills this desperate need. This 384-page guide contains chapters covering everything from Israel's roots to each of the wars to the search for peace. In addition to discussions of the historical issues and current events, the book has a collection of maps and key documents, such as the Hamas Covenant, UN Resolution 242 and the Road Map for peace. The facts are footnoted and a wide variety of sources have been consulted, from Arabic, Hebrew and English newspapers to scholarly journals and books.
