At Issue in History: The Founding of the State of Israel

At Issue In History

by Mitchell G. Bard

Zionists began calling for a national Jewish home in Palestine in the nineteenth century, but the birth of Israel did not take place until 1948. This anthology presents the debates between Arab inhabitants and Jewish settlers, both of whom claim historic rights to the territory that is now Israel.

Great resource book!

It took me a very long time to get through this book, both because of time and because much of what is written caused me to pause and do further quick searches before continuing.

All in all, I found the book helpful
