This book is unlike anything ever written about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Presented historically and side-by-side, two professors – an Israeli Jew and a Palestinian Muslim – deliver the narratives of both sides revealing different perspectives about the simmering conflict in a region desperately needing peaceful resolution. Colleagues who teach this eternal struggle to students in their classrooms, the authors have established a close friendship without denying their opposing viewpoints, and convictions. Where governments repeatedly fail, their mutual respect succeeds. Readers will be fascinated by the unique delivery of this complex subject matter through the authors’ historical review coupled by their personal stories. History will come alive through these two men whose lives have been directly affected by this on-going Middle East conflict. Whether a novice, desiring the ABC’s of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, or a seasoned student of history, this book promises deeper understanding of the controversy and why a peace agreement remains elusive.
