About this product
Product Information
James L. Gelvin's new account of the century-old conflict between Israelis and Palestinians presents a compelling, accessible and up-to-the-moment introduction for students and general readers. Placing events in the disputed area within the framework of global history, the book skillfully interweaves biographical sketches, eyewitness accounts, poetry, fiction and official documentation into its narrative, including photographs, maps and an abundance of supplementary material as well. Beginning in the mid-nineteenth century in Palestine, it traces the evolution and interactions of the two communities from their first encounters up to the present conflict.

Reviews
'The structure of the book is one which would help anyone who has little knowledge about these two people to develop a basic understanding. … The book would be a wonderful introduction to understanding the Middle East problem- a History 101 suggested reading.' Lt Col George King, USAF, retired, "Readers will immediately be struck by the author's lively, informal presentation.... readable and thought provoking." Middle East Journal, 'Gelvin's Israel-Palestine Conflict immediately stands out from the many books available on this topic ... If anybody could be expected to make sense of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in less than 300 pages, Gelvin could. With this book, he has succeeded'. Terrorism and Political Violence, 'Gelvin's volume is distinguished from others ... because it is concise; written in a witty and engaging style; profusely illustrated with photographs, facsimiles of stamps, and maps; and successfully used poetry and other cultural materials to inform the political narrative. Most importantly ... Gelvin's book is theoretically informed without being jargonistic ... While debunking the national mythologies of Zionism and Palestinian nationalism, Gelvin has a humane reasoned approach to the plight of both peoples.' H-Net, 'James Gelvin's witty and deliberate balanced account of two nationalism's, one Zionist one Palestinian, is a refreshing marriage of iconoclasm and contextualisation.' Journal of Jewish Studies, 'Gelvin's volume is distinguished from others … because it is concise; written in a witty and engaging style; profusely illustrated with photographs, facsimiles of stamps, and maps; and successfully used poetry and other cultural materials to inform the political narrative. Most importantly … Gelvin's book is theoretically informed without being jargonistic … While debunking the national mythologies of Zionism and Palestinian nationalism, Gelvin has a humane reasoned approach to the plight of both peoples.' H-Net, "The Israel-Palestine Conflict is an accessible, engaging and lucid introduction to the history of the struggle for Palestine and the Arab-Israeli conflict. Anyone who wants a clear, well-informed, fair-minded survey of the Palestine question will benefit from reading this book, but even specialists who had thought there was nothing new one could possibly say about this topic may find it of interest." Zachary Lockman, New York University, 'The Israeli-Palestine Conflict is an accessible and thoughtful study from which students and the educated public can benefit. IT is value added to a crowded field.' Journal of Palestine Studies, 'Gelvin's Israel-Palestine Conflict immediately stands out from the many books available on this topic … If anybody could be expected to make sense of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in less than 300 pages, Gelvin could. With this book, he has succeeded'. Terrorism and Political Violence, "In a brisk narrative laced with wit, Gelvin offers a fresh interpretation grounded in his rich vision of the culture of nationalism. While true believers on both sides are bound to object to the way he dismantles their most cherished myths, the uncommitted will appreciate his dispassionate approach as well as the detours from war and diplomacy to world's fairs and literature." David Commins, Dickinson College, 'The structure of the book is one which would help anyone who has little knowledge about these two people to develop a basic understanding. ... The book would be a wonderful introduction to understanding the Middle East problem- a History 101 suggested reading.' Lt Col George King, USAF, retired, "Gelvin's book, with maps, illustrations, a glossary, thumbnail biographies, and a lean, well-chosen list of suggestions for further reading, fits the genre of the academic textbook at its best....Balanced, fair, and readable, this is a fine historical synthesis." -L. Carl Brown, Foreign Affairs
