I liked the structure of the book, but since I've read so many books on this topic, I knew most of the info provided and the author a few details here and there.

Rabinovich provides a good overview of the various parties of the conflict, their interests and what shaped their decisions but the actual description of the war and its outcomes is rudimentary at best so as a general overview it’s not really useful, rather as a complimentary resource on the war parties and their shifting stances.
