An accessible chronicle of how the Israel-Palestine conflict originated and developed over the past century. The Shortest History books deliver thousands of years of history in one riveting, fast-paced read.
The ongoing struggle between Israel and Palestine is one of the most bitter conflicts in history, with profound global consequences. In this book, Middle East expert Michael Scott-Baumann succinctly describes its origins and charts its evolution from civil war to the present day. Each chapter offers a lucid explanation of the politics and ends with personal testimony from Palestinians and Israelis whose lives have been impacted by the dispute.
While presenting competing interpretations, Scott-Baumann examines the key flash points, including the early role of the British, the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, the Six-Day War of 1967, and the Trump administration’s peace plan, pitched as “the deal of the century,” in 2020. He delineates both the nature of Israeli control over the Palestinian territories and Palestinian resistance―going to the heart of the clashes in recent decades. The result is an indispensable history, including a time line, glossary, and analysis of why efforts to restore peace have continually failed and what it will take to succeed. 45 B&W maps and images

" . . . an exceptionally fine text - one that could only have been
written by an author mercifully free, for whatever reason of the
phobias and philias about French intellectual life of previous
generations." - New Left Review "This book is clearly an
indispensable resource for historians of twentieth-century France
and French intellectual life, and a fine resource for anyone
interested in a political sociology of the intellectual. Its
fundamental thesis concerning the political sources of the
antitotalitarian moment in the discourse of direct democracy and
the electoral opposition to the PCF is largely persuasive-and a
welcome antidote to the many distortions that obscure this key
reactive shift." - Radical Philosophy "I learned an enormous amount
from your first-rate contribution. It is a very exciting and
intelligent piece of work . . . very impressive." - Michael Seidman
In the latter half of the 1970s, the French intellectual Left
denounced communism, Marxism, and revolutionary politics through a
critique of left-wing totalitarianism that paved the way for
today's postmodern, liberal, and moderate republican political
options. Contrary to the dominant understanding of the critique of
totalitarianism as an abrupt rupture induced by Aleksandr
Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago, Christofferson argues that
French anti-totalitarianism was the culmination of
direct-democratic critiques of communism and revisions of the
revolutionary project after 1956. The author's focus on the
direct-democratic politics of French intellectuals offers an
important alternative to recent histories that seek to explain the
course of French intellectual politics by France's apparent lack of
a liberal tradition. Michael Scott Christofferson was educated at
Carleton College and Columbia University. He currently is Assistant
Professor of History at the Pennsylvania State University, Erie and
lives in the Cleveland, Ohio.
