Enemies and neighbors : Arabs and Jews in Palestine and Israel, 1917-2017 / Enemies & neighbors Ian Black. - xxii, 605 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 487-562) and index.
Library Journal, November 01, 2017 Kirkus Reviews, October 01, 2017
Enemies and Neighbors is a big, textured, and, crucially, balanced account of over 100 years of the Israel-Palestine conflict, published on the 100th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration (the famous pledge made by the British government on Nov. 2, 1917 expressing sympathy for a national Jewish home in Palestine). 2017 also marks the 50th anniversary of the Six-Day War in June 1967, during which Israel seized its current borders. Much of the existing literature on the Israel-Palestine conflict focuses on the era post-Israeli independence (starting in 1948), has a clear bias, and/or comes at the subject from an academic angle. This is a major, engagingly written trade history covering the entire arc of the conflict up to the present, and Black has done an extraordinary job of telling it from both sides.
