"What is so striking about Morris's work as a historian is that
it does not flatter anyone's prejudices, least of all his own,"
David Remnick remarked in a "New Yorker" article that coincided
with the publication of Benny Morris's "1948: A History of the
First Arab-Israeli War. "With the same commitment to objectivity
that has consistently characterized his approach, Morris now turns
his attention to the present-day legacy of the events of 1948 and
the concrete options for the future of Palestine and Israel.
The book scrutinizes the history of the goals of the Palestinian
national movement and the Zionist movement, then considers the
various one- and two-state proposals made by different streams
within the two movements. It also looks at the willingness or
unwillingness of each movement to find an accommodation based on
compromise. Morris assesses the viability and practicality of
proposed solutions in the light of complicated and acrimonious
realities. Throughout his groundbreaking career, Morris has
reshaped understanding of the Israeli-Arab conflict. Here, once
again, he arrives at a new way of thinking about the discord,
injecting a ray of hope in a region where it is most sorely
needed.
