The Arab-Israeli conflict has proven to be one of the most protracted and bitter struggles of modern times; and has been extraordinarily resilient in the face of all efforts to resolve it. Written by a distinguished team of authors comprising an Israeli; a Palestinian; and an Egyptian presenting a broader Arab perspective; this textbook offers a balanced and nuanced introduction to this highly contentious subject. This innovative approach provides:• an essential overview of the key developments in the history of the conflict• a sense of the competing narratives that the principle protagonists have developed regarding these developments • a unique analytical framework through which the major developments can be understood • suggested further reading and links to key historical documents to support in-depth exploration of the subject.This is essential reading for students and others wishing to understand the history and politics of the Arab-Israeli conflict and its pivotal role in the Middle East.

(For Homeschool)Excellent; Good Choice Of WritingBy PheeBeeWe got this book for homeschooling; and usually you wouldn't expect a history book to be so detailed and have reviews; tons of questions; lots of detailed pictures; etc. This book has a lot of pages; in the 1000's. This book is very nice! Has a nice choice of maps in the back; detailed descriptions for each unit; chapter; and section; has a detailed sense of writing; has questions for each chapter; section; and unit. Pretty much the best history book out there! We are very excited to begin the school year. This was the first textbook out of 5 that arrived on time; actually 1 day before the estimated delivery. I'd recommend adding up how many days a school year you'll be doing; and then divide the number of pages to find out how many pages you should work on a day. We've decided 2 sections daily. This book is just plain out awesome; hands down. I recommend for anyone who homeschools. :) The awesome thing about this book is; for homeschoolers; you have a nice choice of questions to work on for each section! Very nice. It should be easy to work on yourself!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. ServiceableBy Jere H LinkThis text was considered the most user-friendly in one appraisal; yet its parentheses on pronunciation intrude on the flow of many pages. In some respects the Strayer-Nelson and the von Sivers/Desnoyers/Stow textbooks are more substantive and better written. Duiker aims at the lowest common denominator; which may be defensible in some colleges; but it does not challenge students to read at a higher level. The layout also leaves something to be desired.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Book That Wears and TearsBy Gregorio OsorioI read through all of the book and it is super boring. It was difficult to pass the class that it was assigned for.
