"I swear by all that's Holy, I will never come anywhere near the
Palestine problem once I liberate myself from this trap." Ralph
Bunche wrote these lines to his wife in 1949, during the armistice
talks on Rhodes. A year later, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
for his success in ending the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. Ralph Bunche
and the Arab-Israeli Conflict provides a comprehensive study of
Ralph Bunche's diplomatic activities on the Palestine question.
Bunche was at the centre of the story from the referral of the
issue to the United Nations in 1947 until the signing of the
armistice agreements that ended the war. He began as advisor to
UNSCOP and then headed the secretariat of the commission tasked
with implementing partition. Later, after serving as the senior
aide to UN mediator Folke Bernadotte, he was appointed to replace
the Count after the latter's assassination. Using extensive
archival materials (some of it revealed here for the first time),
this book addresses central questions, such as the relationship
between Bunche's African American identity and his diplomatic
endeavours, and the complexities of his outlook on the Arab-Israeli
conflict. Through research and careful analysis, it uncovers how
Ralph Bunche managed to bridge the gaps between Israel and Arab
states. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of
Middle Eastern History, particularly Israeli History, as well as
Political Science and Diplomacy.
