This exhaustive work offers readers at multiple levels key insights into the military, political, social, cultural, and religious origins of the Arab-Israeli conflict. It is one of the world's bloodiest, longest running, most intractable regional disputes. Yet through the last 60 years, despite intermittent progress toward peace, the struggle between Israel and its Arab neighbors has remained as frustrating and potentially devastating as it has ever been. "Encyclopedia of the Arab-Israeli Conflict: A Political, Social, and Military History" is the first comprehensive general reference encompassing all aspects of the contentious Arab-Israeli relationship from Old Testament times to the present, with an emphasis on the era beginning with World War II."Encyclopedia of the Arab-Israeli Conflict" goes beyond simply recapping military engagements.
