SynopsisAs it celebrated its fiftieth anniversary, the State of Israel could count many important successes, but its conflict with the Palestinians and the Arab world at large casts a long shadow over its history. What was promulgated as an "iron-wall" strategy dealing with the Arabs from a position of unassailable strength was meant to yield to a further stage where Israel would be strong enough to negotiate a satisfactory peace with its neighbors. The goal remains elusive. In this penetrating study, Avi Shlaim examines how variations of the iron-wall philosophy have guided Israel s leaders; he finds that, while the strategy has been successful, opportunities have been lost to progress from military security to broader peace. The Iron Wall brilliantly illuminates past progress and future prospects for peace in the Middle East.", As it celebrated its fiftieth anniversary, the State of Israel could count many important successes, but its conflict with the Palestinians and the Arab world at large casts a long shadow over its history.

Shlaim presents compelling evidence for a revaluation of traditional Israeli history."--New York Times Book Review

Surprisingly readable and clearly narrated
Surprisingly readable and clearly narrated—no small achievement given the complexity of the Arab-Israeli conflict. The book sober and even handed but offers a clear critique of the Israeli government's approach to the conflict. The book deals at length with the decision making process among the leaders of Israel, based on Israeli archival research. It ends at the end of the 20th century, so isn't a resource for more recent history.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
