What comes out the strongest in this book is the basic overall state of confusion surrounding the settlements issue. It seems like no one - not the Israli Government, the UN, the US, or anyone else was really in control.

Another point that came through quickly is that when the strongly religious decide that something is Gods will, there is little that discussion can do to change their mind. The trouble is that not everyone reads the same book.

The Muslims who have been in this area for a thousand years or more and who are reading a different book are hardly going to agree that this land was given to the Jews. And of course both are convinced that they are in the right.

This book begins in June 1967 when Israeli troops defeated the armies of Egypt, Syria and Jordan. Notice that this was the time when the US was involved with Viet Nam and not devoting full attention to the Middle East. The book ends ten years later when Menachem Begin came to power.

The situation of the settlements obviously didn't go away then, indeed it is still with us today. But this book spends 480 pages on just this ten years. There's got to be another book or two to cover the history up to now. And I expect yet another book sometime in the future for the next ten years.

All in all, this book makes as much sense out of Israeli and Middle East politics as I think it would be possible for one book to do. But that's not to say that I think I understand all the implications. I'm not so sure that anyone does.

One or more of the hyperlinks above will take you to Amazon.com. We specialize in books that are available on line for down loading. Where the material is stored in a planar cellulose information retrieval system, i.e. a printed book, we don't have the infrastructure to handle the sale, shipment and subsequent customer service if there is a problem. Accordingly, we have made an arrangement with Amazon.com to handle the order. The above link will take you to the specific book. If you order it from Amazon, they will give you exactly the same price and customer service as if you had entered their site directly. They also give us a small commission which helps to maintain this site.
