The Gun and the Olive Branch

The Roots of Violence in the Middle East

About this book

"A myth-breaking general history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, The Gun and the Olive Branch traces events right back to the 1880s to show how Arab violence, although often cruel and fanatical, is a response to the challenge of repeated aggression." (From the publisher, in the 3rd edition)
