About This Book

The transformation of Palestine into Israel, and the Palestinians' resistance to it, is the subject of this book. After a brief account of earlier times, James Ciment gives a clear and dispassionate reading of the historical forces and events of the 19th and 20th centuries, from the decline of the Ottomans to the current "peace process," that have resulted in the divided and often violent Palestine/Israel of today.
