Reviews
Highly recommended: Everyone interested in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict-general readers and academics alike-will want to consult this book. * Choice *
A valuable collection. * The Economist *
Shlaim ... provides a realpolitik reading of the history, demolishing the heroic and innocent image of Israel in its relations with the Palestinians. * Foreign Affairs *
Wonderful ... Not often today do we find historians who are this honest and this bleak and this able to express truth so simply. -- Robert Fisk * The Independent *
Shlaim does not aim at a comprehensive overview of the conflict so much as a running rebuttal of Israel's version of it; an insurgency in the public relations war. -- Rafael Behr * Observer *
... a welcome and timely addition to the continuing debate on the Palestine-Israel conflict and its possible resolution. * Journal of Palestine Studies *
