The Israel-Palestine Conflict: One Hundred Years of War

DOC The Israel-Palestine Conflict: One Hundred Years of War by James L. Gelvin in History

Description

Out of European revolutions and social upheaval; an extraordinary society of literate; pious; and prosperous English Puritans flowered in seventeenth-century New England. This wonderfully readable history recreates the world of Puritan New England and places it in the broad sweep of history. The book provides a fascinating look into Puritan society; with sailors; sinners; women; children; and Native Americans joining the usual Puritan ministers of the seventeenth century. Combining remarkable primary sources with an enjoyable narrative; this book reveals the New England Nation in its fullness and complexity; and reveals striking parallels with the America of today.

Review
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Quick; easy introductionBy BoboThis book frames the conflict as one of competing nationalisms; Israeli-Zionist and Palestinian; products of the rise of nationalism generally during the 19th and early 20th centuries; and sharing much with those other movements. Gelvin does a great job showing the two sides' perspectives; which is the key to understanding this issue - how each side's historical narrative justifies their beliefs and actions; and vice-versa. True believers on both sides will be put off; but those looking for a balanced; general intruduction will learn plenty.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

The author does a very good job of explaining the slow progression of mistakes and illusions on both sides of this never ending conflict. The author cites an extensive list of sources at the end of each chapter. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an objective history of the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy James L.
