Abstract:
"For more than a century, the conflict between Arabs and Jews has remained the most intractable problem confronting the world, and hardly a day passes that the Arab-Israeli conflict is not headlined in the media. This disagreement has turned Arabs and Israelis against one another and embittered relations within the two communities, while drawing the rest of the world into their circle of disruption." "The A to Z of the Arab-Israeli Conflict provides factual background information on the historical, religious, cultural, and archaeological issues that this rivalry over territory has sparked through a list of acronyms and abbreviations; an introductory essay; a chronology; a bibliography; and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant people, places, and events, including various wars and negotiations. This book offers essential details using neutral terms, allowing readers to draw their own conclusions."--BOOK JACKET
