Description
āComprehensive and compellingā¦a landmark studyā of the Arab-Zionist conflict, told from both sides, by the author of Israelās Secret Wars (Sunday Times, UK).
Setting the scene at the end of the nineteenth century, when the first Zionist settlers arrived in the Ottoman-ruled Holy Land, Black draws on a wide range of sourcesāfrom declassified documents to oral testimonies to his own vivid-on-the-ground reportingāto illuminate the most polarizing conflict of modern times.
Beginning with the 1917 Balfour Declaration, in which the British government promised to favor the establishment of āa national home for the Jewish peopleā in Palestine, Black proceeds through the Arab Rebellion of the late 1930s, the Nazi Holocaust, Israelās independence and the Palestinian Nakba (catastrophe), the watershed of 1967 followed by the Palestinian re-awakening, Israelās settlement project, two Intifadas, the Oslo Accords, and continued negotiations and violence up to today.
Combining engaging narrative with political analysis and social and cultural insights, Enemies and Neighbors is both an accessible overview and a fascinating investigation into the deeper truths of a furiously contested history.
