What is Towards the long-promised peace : history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict about?

On the 13 September 1993 Yasser Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin did the unthinkable: they shook hands in front of the world's media, thus taking the first step towards a settlement of the long-running Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This book, which covers the 1993 Washington meeting and includes the Arafat-Rabin letters of mutual recognition and the historic Declaration of Principles, also gives the necessary historical background to understand these startling developments.<br> <br> Massalha's detailed study examines the conflict from all angles: from the biblical history of the region, through the period of Jewish immigration and the British mandate, The Arab-Israeli wars and the various stages of the US-mediated 'peace process'. It also deals with the topics that will form the basis of future negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians -the status of Jerusalem, the Jewish settlements, water resources and a possible confederation with Jordan.<br> <br> This timely contribution by a uniquely well-qualified expert will prove useful in understanding future developments in the fast-evolving Middle East scene.
