Reviews
Deals with a very charged issue using a balanced tone. . . . The book makes a valuable and important contribution to a topic usually studied with strong political zeal rather than cool academic analysis.-Moaz Rosenthal, Lauder School of Government, Diplomacy and Strategy, Interdisciplinary Center, Herzliya
