Now entering its third edition; James L. Gelvin's award-winning account of the conflict between Israelis and their forebears; on the one hand; and Palestinians and theirs; on the other; offers a compelling; accessible; and current introduction for students and general readers. Newly updated to take into account the effects of the 2010-11 Arab uprisings on the conflict and the recognition of Palestinian statehood by the United Nations; the book traces the struggle from the emergence of nationalism among the Jews of Europe and the Arab inhabitants of Ottoman Palestine through the present; exploring the external pressures and internal logic that have propelled it. Placing events in Palestine within the framework of global history; The Israel-Palestine Conflict: One Hundred Years of War skillfully interweaves biographical sketches; eyewitness accounts; poetry; fiction; and official documentation into its narrative.
