  • Righteous Victimsby Benny Morris

    Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group 2011; US$ 16.99

    Righteous Victims , by the noted historian Benny Morris, is a comprehensive and objective history of the long battle between Arabs and Jews for possession of a land they both call home. It appears at a most timely juncture, as the bloody and protracted struggle seems at last to be headed for resolution. With great clarity of vision, Professor Morris finds the roots of this conflict in the deep religious, ethnic, and political differences between the Zionist immigrants and the native Arab population of Palestine. He describes the gradual influx of Jewish settlers, which was eventually fiercely resisted by the Arabs during the decades of  British Mandatory government following World War I. The establishment of the State of Israel... more...

  • Israel's Quest for Recognition and Acceptance in Asiaby Jacob Abadi

    Frank Cass 2004; US$ 54.95

    This title represents a comprehensive study of Israel's attempts to build diplomatic relations with countries on the Asian continent. Dr Abadi argues that, despite the persistence of the Arab Israeli conflict, the Israeli Foreign Ministry was remarkably successful in gaining recognition in most Asian countries. Israeli success was the result of a number of international developments, including the collapse of the Soviet Union, which left the USA as the only global superpower; the onset of the peace process, which reduced the risk of association with Israel; and Israel's ability to share its technological achievements with Asian states. Dr Abadi provides an overview of Israel's relations with Asian countries from 1948 until the present, and... more...

  • Israel in the International Arenaby Efraim Karsh

    Frank Cass 2004; US$ 54.95

    There has always been a sense of exclusiveness about Israel?s place in the world. As a small nation, a democracy and the only Jewish state, Israel is, indeed, a unique international actor. Israel is also one of the few states not formally affiliated with any regional bloc; equally, it does not belong to any pact or alliance. As Abba Eban has noted, the ?state of Israel has more unresolved matters of interrogation hanging over it than most other political units in the modern world.? more...

  • Israeli Politics and the Middle East Peace Process,by Hassan A. Barari

    RoutledgeCurzon 2004; US$ 170.00

  • Israel, the Hashemites and the Palestiniansby Efraim Karsh; P.R. Kumaraswamy

    Frank Cass 2003; US$ 57.95

    This volume provides a historical survey of the relationship between the Zionist movement and Israel with the Hashemite family and its implications for Middle Eastern affairs in general, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in particular. more...

  • The Myth of a Gentile Galileeby Mark A. Chancey; John Court

    Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 44.00

    This investigation of Galilee during the time of Jesus demonstrates that, contrary to the perceptions of many scholars, the overwhelming majority of Galilee's population were Jews. It is the only book-length treatment of this subject and is the fullest synthesis available of archaeological and literary evidence for first-century CE Galilee. more...

  • Israel, Turkey and Greeceby Amikam Nachmani

    Frank Cass 1987; US$ 190.00

    The triangle described in this book hardly exists in reality. Tripartite relations among Greece, Turkey and Israel, if discernible at all, revolve around the crises which constantly beset the Middle East and the East Mediterranean. Even then, it is not a triangle per se: the three states seldom pursue a common policy. What is perhaps the most usual feature of their interrelations is the ?ganging-up? of two of the sides against the third. This has been known to happen, for example, when Greece and Turkey pursue an anti-Israeli policy in the Israeli-Arab conflict or when Jerusalem inclines towards a pro-Turkish line in the Greco-Turkish Cyprus conflict. One could say, in fact, that there are more bilateral relations among the three... more...

  • Zionism and Arabism in Palestine and Israelby Elie Kedourie; Sylvia G. Haim

    Frank Cass 1982; US$ 190.00

    The ten studies published in this volume were submitted, and accepted, for publication in Middle Eastern Studies. But it has seemed to the Editors that these studies, tackling as they do various issues stemming from the long drawn out conflict between Arabism and Zionism before and after the establishment of Israel, form a coherent collection and could, with advantage, be published together hence the present volume. The studies fall into a number of welldefined groups. The first three chapters reconsider aspects of Arab-Jewish relations and the Arab struggle against Zionism from the arrival of Sir Herbert Samuel in Palestine until the end of the Mandate. New light is here thrown on Zionist attitudes to the Arab question, on the beginnings... more...
