I borrowed it from a friend who was headed to the region. I did not realize that it was a collection of academic articles by the author, so there was some repetition throughout. Each article referred to a book, or books, by other authors, on various themes from the Balfour Declaration through to the Israeli attack on Gaza shortly before publication. He was fairly balanced throughout, positing both sides need to look in the mirror for their shortcomings, although the Gaza attack, being fresh and another attack on the Oslo accords, made him more pointed. A good history of the conflict. (

A cleverly chronologically organized set of book reviews representing a critical view of the Arab-Israeli conflict. In addition to being a rich source of literature review for any Middle Eastern studies researcher. (

in Israel and Palestine, his collection of essays on the Middle East, Avi Shlaim refers to Zionism as a public relations exercise. It sounds glib. But Shlaim, a professor of international relations at Oxford Universitycorrect, isn't talking about sales and marketing. He means a configuration of history that casts one side of a dispute as victim and the other as aggressor in the eyes of the world.
