Jerusalem 1913: The Origins of the Arab-Israeli Conflict

Autor Amy Dockser Marcus
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2008 – vârsta de la 18 ani
A Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter examines the true history of the discord between Israel and Palestine with surprising results

Though the origins of the Arab-Israeli conflict have traditionally been traced to the British Mandate (1920-1948) that ended with the creation of the Israeli state, a new generation of scholars has taken the investigation further back, to the Ottoman period. The first popular account of this key era, Jerusalem 1913 shows us a cosmopolitan city whose religious tolerance crumbled before the onset of Z ionism and its corresponding nationalism on both sides-a conflict that could have been resolved were it not for the onset of World War I. With extraordinary skill, Amy Dockser Marcus rewrites the story of one of the world's most indelible divides.

Recenzii

"A richly insightful, highly readable, and acutely felt offering, one that is also critical and even handed . . . a page-turning, heartbreaking narrative."
-San Francisco Chronicle

"Marcus masterfully brings a Jerusalem of almost a century ago to pungent life, and her political dissection of the era is lucid."
-Publishers Weekly


Descriere

Journalist Marcus asserts that the origins of the Arab-Israeli conflict began much earlier than what is commonly thought. She focuses on crucial events from 1913--the year of the First Arab Congress as well as the first secret peace talks--and how World War I interrupted these efforts.
