- Summary
- "Palestine and the Arab-Israeli Conflict provides a comprehensive, balanced, and accessible narrative of a complex historical topic. Charles D. Smith examines how underlying issues, group motives, religious and cross-cultural clashes, diplomacy and imperialism, and the arrival of the modern era shaped this volatile region. The narrative is supported by more than 40 primary documents that highlight perspectives from all sides of the struggle, as well as maps, photographs, chronologies, public opinion polls, and discussion questions. The final chapter, updated through early 2016, makes this the most current history of the topic"--Cover.
