Loading... The Complete Idiot's Guide to Middle East Conflict, 3rd Edition (The Complete Idiot's Guide) (edition 2005)by Ph.D. Bard, Mitchell G.This book explains the evolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict from Biblical times ....to Mahmoud Abbas. The book points out historical misunderstandings in side-bars topped by a picture of a pharaoh wagging a finger and saying "Tut Tut!" It doles out trivia beneath a cartoon of a smiling sphinx. It contains subheadings such as, "Hello Haganah" and "Too Many Jews, Not Enough Space." Mainstream, broad-based texts usually bend so much toward even-handedness that they end up offending partisans on both sides. What a surprise, then, that this Idiot's Guide is not so idiotic. An excellent guide to beginning to understand the Middle East. |
