In Enemies and Neighbors, Ian Black, who has spent four decades
studying and covering the Middle East, offers a major new history
of the Arab-Zionist conflict, told from both sides. Setting the
scene at the end of the 19th century, when the first Zionist
settlers arrived in the Ottoman-ruled Holy Land, Black draws on a
wide range of sources--from declassified documents to oral
testimonies to his own vivid-on-the-ground reporting--to illuminate
the most polarizing conflict of modern times. Taking the 1917
Balfour Declaration, the British government's fateful promise to
favor the establishment of "a national home for the Jewish people"
in Palestine, as its first major milestone, the story proceeds
through the Arab Rebellion of the late 1930s, the Nazi Holocaust,
Israel's independence and the Palestinian Nakba (catastrophe), the
watershed of 1967 followed by the Palestinian re-awakening,
Israel's settlement project, two Intifadas, the Oslo Accords, and
continued negotiations and violence up to today. Combining engaging
narrative with political analysis and social and cultural insights,
Enemies and Neighbors is both an accessible overview and a
fascinating investigation into the deeper truths of a furiously
contested history that has preserved Palestinians and Israelis as
unequal enemies and neighbors.
