Reviews

[Dipra Lahiri · Rating 3 out of 5]

A concise and fast paced account of the Arab Israeli conflict, with excellent maps. Wish there could have been a bit more detail on the key players.

[Jody Bachelder · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is not a bad place to start to get an overview of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Though the writing is a bit dry, the book is short (67 pages) with plenty of photos and sidebars to break up the text. The maps of the changing borders are very good and crucial to understanding unfolding events. This won't make the best seller list, but it's very accessible for reports. I appreciate that it's a subject not often tackled for the middle/high school audience.
