Not recommended Dec 16, 2003
When you open a book and are immediately presented with a map of the Middle East showing Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the West Bank, but no word "Israel," you know something is wrong. When you then read on the first page of the book that Israel's eastern border is the "Palestinian territory," you know that you are not dealing with a fair-minded author. The first page also says that it was "tensions between the two groups" -- Israelis and Palestinians -- that led to "a series of wars and uprisings" after 1948, with no mention of the Arab countries' invasion of Israel in 1948 or subsequent hostile acts. To read just the first page would have you believe that Israel has been continually accumulating additional Arab land since 1948, for no rhyme or reason. The rest of the book follows the same pattern; there's always a reason for Arab discontent, but never a good reason for Israeli responses. Not recommended.
