Avi Shlaim is the sort of historian every country needs. An exposer
of national myths, the supreme scholar of Arab-Israeli
negotiations.
*Spectator*
Not often today do we find historians who are this honest and this
bleak and this able-for some reason, I think here of T. S. Eliot's
essays-to express truth so simply.
*Independent*
Provides even the hardened student with some new perspectives.
*The Economist*
Noted historian Shlaim presents a collection of hard-hitting pieces
about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict....Shlaim is an important,
sage, reasoned voice on the course of Israeli-Palestinian
relations.
*Kirkus Reviews*
One of the best and most illuminating accounts of Arab-Israeli
relations in years.
*Foreign Affairs*
Fascinating ... Shlaim presents compelling evidence for a
re-evaluation of traditional Israeli history.
*New York Times Book Review*
