Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
By All Accounts, The 1948 Palestine War Was One Of The Most Significant Milestones In The Modern History Of The Middle East And Remains One Of The Most Intractable Conflicts Of Modern Times. Israelis Call The 1948 War The War Of Independence While Arabs Call It Alnakba Or The Disaster. The Conventional Israeli Version Portrays 1948 As An Unequal Struggle Between A Jewish David And An Arab Goliath, As A Desperate, Heroic, And Ultimately Successful Battle For Survival Against Overwhelming Odds. In This Version All The Surrounding Arab States Sent Their Armies Into Palestine To Strangle The Jewish State At Birth And The Palestinians Left The Country On Orders From Their Own Leaders And In The Expectation Of A Triumphal Return. Since The Late 1980S, However, A Group Of New Historians Or Revisionist Israeli Historians Have Challenged Many Of The Claims Surrounding The Birth Of The State Of Israel And The First Arabisraeli War. The Present Volume Was Conceived As A Contribution To The Ongoing Debate About 1948. The War For Palestine Brings Together Leading Israeli New Historians With Prominent Arab And Western Scholars Of The Middle East Who Revisit 1948 From The Perspective Of Each Of The Countries Involved In The War. The Result Is A Volume That Is Rich In New Material And New Insights And Which Enhances Considerably Our Understanding Of The Historical Roots Of The Arabisraeli Conflict. Eugene L.
