Full Description
Comprehensive and analytical, A History of the Arab-Israeli Conflict presents a balanced and impartial overview of this centuries-old struggle.
Taking a clear and chronological approach to this complex subject, and placing events in the context of their longer-term histories, Ian J. Bickerton and Carla L. Klausner examine the issues and themes that have characterized and defined the conflict over the course of its history, bringing the coverage up to date with a twenty-first-century perspective. Starting in the nineteenth century, the book moves through the British Mandate, World War II, and the proclamation of the state of Israel, the widening and deepening conflict and attempts at a peace process, the impacts of 9/11 and the Arab Spring, and finally it discusses events to the end of 2021. In a completely revised Conclusion the authors examine how we interpret many of the startling, rapidly changing, and somewhat unpredictable events of the last five years.
Illustrated throughout with numerous photographs, updated maps, tables, and chronologies for each chapter, together with extensive relevant and up-to-date documentary sources, further reading, and a glossary of key terms, it is the ideal textbook for all students of the history of the modern Middle East.
