Synopsis

The Atlas of Conflicts series explains how and why the major wars of the twentieth century started, describes what happened, and analyzes how the results changed our world. Each title includes twenty-four maps that illustrate in graphic form how the battles and campaigns were fought, how boundaries were redrawn, and how nations were reshaped.

The Arab-Israeli Conflict describes the ongoing struggle for land, power, and cultural and religious survival between the Jewish nation of Israel and the Palestinian and other Arabic-speaking peoples of the Middle East. Beginning with the contradictory promises that Great Britain made to Arabs and Jews about Palestine during World War II, this area of the world has been - and continues to be - a land in dispute. Wars, protests, and multiple acts of terror have been punctuated by attempts at peace agreements, often brokered by the United States. This book tells the history of that conflict, and it explores why the people of the region continue their struggle with one another as they seek peace, cultural and religious autonomy, and prosperity.
