Review Quote The conflict over the Holy Land is complex, multifaceted, and ever-transforming. This book is so important and effective precisely because it chooses to highlight, rather than to minimize, these qualities of the conflict. No one book can tell the full story of this fascinating and heart-breaking conflict and of the distinct ways in which it has been perceived by the different national, ethnic, and religious communities who care about this land, but Arabs and Israelis is an essential entry-point to this subject.
