Synopsis
Unfolding the Arab-Israeli Conflict exposes the roots and evolution of the Arab-Israeli Conflict, from the birth of Zionism in 1894 to the aftermath of the Six Day War. It reveals the secret deals and conflicting promises that led to Britain’s mandate over Palestine, presenting a well-researched and documented narrative, peppered with first-person accounts and vivid memories, resulting in a unique view of the foundation of Arab-Israeli Conflict. Hallaj offers a scholarly yet deeply personal and accessible narrative that serves as a reminder of the imperative to understand the past before attempting to chart a path to a more equitable future.
