The Palestine-israel Conflict A Basic Introduction - Fourth, De Harms, Gregory. Editorial Pluto Press, Tapa Blanda En Inglés, 2017

Descripción

The Palestine-Israel conflict is the most notorious and ingrained conflict in living memory. The way it is reported in the media is often confusing and misleading. In "The Palestine-Israel Conflict: A Basic Introduction," authors Gregory Harms and Todd M. Ferry provide an authoritative introduction to this topic. This book is balanced, accessible, and annotated, covering the full history of the region from Biblical times up to the present. It is designed for both general readers and students, offering a comprehensive yet lucid rendering of the conflict, set in historical context. The fourth edition includes a new introduction, conclusion, and material covering recent events: Israel’s Operation Protective Edge, the Palestinian unity deal between Fatah and Hamas, and ongoing Palestinian resistance, America’s Middle East policy, and the election of Trump. This edition aims to clarify the ongoing struggle for readers.
