" An accessible, balance chronicle of how the Israel-Palestine conflict originated and developed over the past century.
The ongoing struggle between Israel and Palestine is one of the most bitter conflicts in history, with profound global consequences. In this book, Middle East expert Michael Scott-Baumann succinctly describes its origins and charts its evolution from civil war to the present day.Each chapter offers a lucid explanation of the politics and ends with personal testimony from Palestinians and Israelis whose lives have been overshadowed by violence.
While presenting competing interpretations, Scott-Baumann examines key flash points including the earlythe early role of the British, the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, the Six-Days War of 1967, the Trump administration's 2020 peace plan, and the war ignited by Hamas's surprise attacks on Israel in 2023. He delineates both the nature of Israeli control over Palestinian resistance - going to the heart of recent clashes. The result is an indispensable history, including a time line, glossary, and analysis of why efferts to restore peace have continually failed and what it will take to succeed."
