Avi Shlaim's The Iron Wall: Israel and the Arab World is the
outstanding book on Israeli foreign policy, now thoroughly updated
with a new preface and chapters on Israel's most recent leaders In
the 1920s, hard-line Zionists developed the doctrine of the 'Iron
Wall': negotiations with the Arabs must always be from a position
of military strength, and only when sufficiently strong Israel
would be able to make peace with her Arab neighbours. This
doctrine, argues Avi Shlaim, became central to Israeli policy;
dissenters were marginalized and many opportunities to reconcile
with Palestinian Arabs were lost. Drawing on a great deal of new
material and interviews with many key participants, Shlaim places
Israel's political and military actions under and uncompromising
lens. His analysis will bring scant comfort to partisans on both
sides, but it will be required reading for anyone interested in
this fascinating and troubled region of the world. 'The Iron Wall
is strikingly fair-minded, scholarly, cogently reasoned and makes
enthralling ... reading' Philip Ziegler, Daily Telegraph 'Anyone
wanting to understand the modern Middle East should start by
reading this elegantly written and scrupulously researched book'
Trevor Royle, Sunday Herald 'A milestone in modern scholarship of
the Middle East' Edward Said 'Fascinating ... Shlaim presents
compelling evidence for a revaluation of traditional Israeli
history' Ethan Bronner, The New York Times Book Review Avi Shlaim
is Professor of International Relations at St. Antony's College,
Oxford. His previous books include Collusion Across the Jordan
(1988) and War and Peace in the Middle East (1995).
