The Israel-Arab reader

de Walter Laqueur, Barry Rubin

"[A]uthoritative guide to more than a century of conflict in the Middle East. It covers the full spectrum of a violent and checkered history-from the origins of Zionism and Arab nationalism, though the struggles surrounding Israel's independence in 1948, the wars and hostilities characterizing the following decades, the long diplomatic process and many peace initiatives, and up to the most recent developments."--Cover.
