ISRAEL AND THE ARABS (Used)

By: Maxime Rodinson. Published in the Pelican Books series (English edition, 1968), this historical and sociological study traces the roots of the Israeli-Arab conflict from the late Ottoman period through the establishment of the State of Israel and the region's responses to it. Rodinson, a Marxist historian and Orientalist, examines the underlying historical, political, and economic causes of the conflict rather than treating it as inevitable.
