“A concise history of modern Israel, from the last decades of the 19th Century to the present. It presents a panoramic view of Israeli history, with special emphasis on the development of the Israeli – Palestinian conflict. A very readable, highly recommended book.” Anita Shapira, Tel Aviv University “In this compact yet authoritative volume, Alan Dowty has provided an outstanding introduction to Israeli history, in particular the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Measured in its tone and sympathetic to all sides, the book deserves a wide readership among the general public and can be assigned in a wide variety of college-level courses.” Derek Penslar, Harvard University “Professor Dowty does an outstanding job in summarizing history with unique understanding and rich suggestion of further reading.” Jewish Tribune
