Synopsis

In this timely update of the 2008 and 2005 editions, Dowty (emeritus, political science, U. of Notre Dame) provides a balanced lens on the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict from each side's historical and contemporary perspectives. He concludes that subjective causes have overtaken territorial claims as obstacles to peaceful resolution. The work includes maps of shifting borders, a chronology, further reading, and supporting tables and figures. Distributed by Wiley. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
