Beyond the Balfour Declaration: 100 Years of Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Hardcover

Is there any prospect of a peace agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians? This book examines the reasons why innumerable efforts to resolve their differences have always failed, updates the history of these efforts, and assesses whether there is any prospect of ever reaching an agreement. It places this conflict in the context of the turmoil in the rest of the Middle East and investigates the influence of one upon the other.
