Reviews

Certainly encyclopedic, since material covered extends beyond the core agents of the Arab-Israeli confl ict, this is an extensive source on an important regional confl ict….This is an impressive resource for students seeking a general introductory statement on any of the multiple facets of the conflict.

As he did with Arab-Israeli Conflict and Conciliation: A Documentary History, Reich fills a void with this comprehensive encyclopedia.

This is a work that will enchance any library's reference shelf.
