E-Books →The Origins of the Arab-Israeli Wars, 4th Edition

Ovendale begins this timely new edition by analysing anti-Semitism in modern Europe, the ¿Arab awakening¿ and continues through to the present, covering the creation of the state of Israel, the 1967 and October 1973 wars, the first Palestinian uprising and peace processes of the 1980 and 1990s. This fourth edition also includes a major new chapter on the ¿al-Aqsa intifada¿, as the second Palestinian uprising has become known. Erupting in 2000 and stemming from disillusionment with the Oslo accords, this intifada has added to the ever increasing numbers killed in the conflict. The latest Anglo-American ¿road map¿ for peace is outlined to bring the story up to date.
This highly-regarded history gives a balanced and judicious introduction to this immensely complex and controversial subject, weaving different strands of the story into a single coherent narrative, thus making it essential reading for all students studying conflict in the Middle East.
