Riassunto

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is in the headlines daily, but do most Americans really understand what it is about? Arabs & Israel For Beginners provides an intelligent, in-depth, yet humorous and accessible Palestinian perspective on the struggle between the two nations. With dramatic events happening almost every day in this region, and the US government increasingly becoming involved, the American public deserves to hear both sides.

Arabs & Israel For Beginners covers the Middle East from ancient times to the present, tells the truth in plain English. If you want to know the truth about 12,000 years of Middle Eastern history, then Arabs & Israel For Beginners is the perfect place to start.

"Well-organized and lucid... [Arabs & Israel for Beginners] does indeed deserve a large reading audience." -- Arthur Goldschmidt, Jr., author of A Concose History of the Middle East

"Take the research of Noam Chomsky... enliven it with skillful pensketched drawing... then trace 12,000 years of turbulent history with the irreverence of Saturday Night Live, and you have...
