Review
“In addition to being well written and easily accessible for students, the text is also authoritative. Smith’s treatment of the conflict is fair and analytically thoughtful.” -- Toby Jones, Rutgers University
“The text is clear and concise. The introductions and conclusions to each chapter will keep students on track.” -- John Calvert, Creighton University
Praise for the previous edition:
“I would recommend Palestine and the Arab-Israeli Conflict because of its comprehensive treatment, logical presentation, clear language, and balanced discussion of a controversial subject.” -- Sohail Hashmi, Mount Holyoke College
Book Description
Palestine and the Arab-Israeli Conflict provides a comprehensive, balanced, and accessible introduction to the multi-faceted history of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Smith’s widely respected analysis examines how underlying issues, group motives, religious and cross-cultural clashes, diplomacy and imperialism, and encroaching modernity shaped this volatile region. The book’s narrative and supporting documents, maps, photographs, and chronologies consider high and low politics with perspectives from all sides of the struggle, while the final chapters include the latest developments.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Simply the best book available on this topic,
By Marvin (NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Palestine and the Arab-Israeli Conflict: A History with Documents (Paperback)
If you're going to purchase a single work on this topic, make sure it's this book. It is a must read for anyone and everyone who's interested in the Arab-Israeli conflict. It's simple enough for even an uninformed reader to easily grasp, while maintaining the thoroughness to make it a must read for highly knowledgeable readers. Smith's book is by far the best work available, by any comparisons. It's detailed, accurate, and defines the word "unbiased" in this topic. Learn the facts here, and develop your own opinion. All experts I've known would recommend this book above all others without any hesitation. It's that good.

Pretty good book!,

This review is from: Palestine and the Arab-Israeli Conflict: A History with Documents (Paperback)
Contrary to the rubbish that a lot of people are putting up in the review section, this book does a reasonably good job of explaining the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. It is concise, lucid and I don't really detect any considerable bias.There's always going to be crazy hardliners who nitpick and have huge amounts of time to write scathing reviews of books that attempt to present the truth as it really is, and not the convoluted, one sided account/myth drawn up by AIPAC and other pro-Israel organisations. I really recommend the book.
