Description: 

Since 1948, when the new state of Israel was created, the bitter conflict between Arabs and Israelis has turned the Middle East into one of the world's most troubled regions. In this book, the events leading up to the wars and terrorism of recent decades are examined, and the complexities of the Palestinian question are explained. The author looks at the wide-ranging consequences of the conflict, from the plight of refugees to its effects on international politics, and examines the breakthroughs which have heralded renewed quests for peace.
