The Arab-Israeli Conflict

Seminar Studies in History

by Kirsten E. Schulze

A concise and accessible introduction to a highly complex subject. Following the opening chapter on the origins of the Arab-Israeli conflict, Dr Schulze takes the reader through the causes, course, and consequences of all the major conflicts, concluding with a chapter on the Middle East peace process in the 1990s. As well as analysing the events themselves, the author also considers the historiographical debates on nationalism, revisionism and post-revisionism. An excellent introduction providing a clear and readable account for students of postwar international history, Middle Eastern Studies and politics.

One of the very few unbiased looks at one of the world's most complex and heartbreaking conflicts. I read this right before studying abroad in Jerusalem and Bethlehem, and it gave me all the background I needed to know before diving in. I highly recommend this read.

Very good book full of comprehensive informations. Since 19th century, throughout The British Mandate for Palestine and many wars for independence, the condensed history of Israel with all the milestones and famous persons. And no bias.
