Book description
Since the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, the region has
been the scene of fierce power struggles, injustice and tragic events
- a situation which persists to this day. Now for the first time, an
Israeli-Arab author collaboration is tackling one of the world's most
controversial situations.
Published to accompany a six-part BBC television series by the
makers of the award-winning DEATH OF YUGOSLAVIA, this myth-breaking
book draws on candid interviews with key protagonists in the struggles
- many of whom have never before spoken out - to reveal
behind-the-scenes events and put the record straight. This is a
definitive insiders' account of war and peace in the Middle East.
