The new, revised and completely updated sixth edition of the Israel-Arab Reader has been published by Penguin Putnam. This paperback covers the Arab-Israel conflict and peace process from its inception a century ago to the present day, including material on the 2000 Camp David summit, Clinton plan, and the new intifada. Almost 50,000 copies of previous editions are in print, making this one of the most widely used reference books on the Middle East.
Beginning with the inception of the Zionist and Arab nationalist movements, the book covers more than a century of history. It documents the British mandate and attempts to resolve the conflict; Israel's independence and the outbreak of wars; international diplomatic efforts to solve the conflict; and the peace process and its breakdown. Materials are presented reflecting the positions of Arab leaders and states, Europeans, Israel, Palestinians, the USSR, and the United States. The texts of international resolutions and agreements, as well as the accords made during the peace process, are also provided. In all, there are about 250 entries, all primary source material from a wide range of sources.
The result is a comprehensive work suitable for reading, reference, and teaching. The past edition has been reviewed and re-edited for timeliness and balance. Many new items have been added to bring the coverage up to date. We hope you will find the book of interest for purchasing, reading, or recommending your library's purchase.
