A guide to the minefield that is Israel and Palestine
Thoroughly readable. The key to its clarity is the 'facts on the ground', by interviewing real people and connecting with Israeli policy and Palestinian survival it has managed to present the recipe for a long term settlement without stating it. Dilip Hiro is excellent - if anyone can expose suffering of a disadvantaged people he can and has. I just hope he is able to update his book soon - it would be an objective way of keeping abreast of an impending disaster which could easily envelope the rest of us.

An excellent book for studying a complex situation
Most books on the Israeli/Palestinian problem tend to be huge and ponderous, full of information but very hard to read. This book does th impossible, it details all the facets of a very difficult situation and remains readable. I don't know how he did this but he did. Buy this book now, before it goes out of print
