'Smith's book is the gold standard of texts on the Palestine-Israel and Arab-Israeli conflicts. It is rich in detail and carefully argued. The language is accessible and well supplemented by generous illustrations and maps.' - Joel Gordon, University of Arkansas, USA Praise for previous editions: 'In addition to being well written and easily accessible for students, the text is also authoritative. Smith's treatment of the conflict is fair and analytically thoughtful.' - Toby Jones, Rutgers University, USA 'The text is clear and concise. The introductions and conclusions to each chapter will keep students on track.' - John Calvert, Creighton University, USA 'I would recommend Palestine and the Arab-Israeli Conflict because of its comprehensive treatment, logical presentation, clear language, and balanced discussion of a controversial subject.' - Sohail Hashmi, Mount Holyoke College, USA

Charles D. Smith provides a remarkably comprehensive and objective account of this complex subject, adopting a long-view approach. The eighth edition of this established text has been revised and updated and now brings the coverage right up to the present day.
