New Arrival: Dictionary
Scarecrow Press has just published my Historical Dictionary of the Arab-Israeli Conflict.
About the BOOK:
"Anyone seeking key facts on the Arab-Israeli conflict is going to find this an extraordinarily useful reference work."—Dr Anthony H Cordesman, The Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy at the Center for Strategic and International Studies
"P.R. Kumaraswamy has taken on a Herculean but necessary task in trying to explain this key Middle Eastern issue fairly, systematically, and comprehensively in a single volume. The fact that he has succeeded in doing so will be valuable for both researchers and those who simply want to understand better the most complex and important region of the contemporary world."—Professor Barry Rubin, Director, Global Research in International Affairs Center
From the blurb:
For over a century, the conflict between the Arabs and Jews has remained the most intractable problem confronting the world. Hardly a day passes that the Arab-Israeli Conflict is not headlined in the media. It has turned the Arabs and Israelis against one another, and also embittered relations within the two communities, while drawing the rest of the world into the circle of disruption.
The Historical Dictionary of the Arab-Israeli Conflict provides factual background through a list of acronyms and abbreviations, an introductory essay, a chronology, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on the more significant persons, places and events, including the various wars and negotiations. The history, religion, culture, and archeology that this rivalry has sparked between the Arabs and Israelis over the same piece of territory is traced in this book, which offers the essential details using neutral terms and thereby allowing readers to draw conclusions for themselves.
