Description
This updated, and greatly expanded edition makes Khouri’s work the best currently available study of the complex Arab-Israeli conflict. Here are several new chapters providing a thorough, well-documented examination of the critical events which have developed since 1976, as well as a detailed analysis of the views, actions, and policies of the contending parties and the Big Powers. A completely new index to the entire work is provided. The Arab-Israeli Dilemma is of major interest to policy makers, to scholars and students dealing with Middle Eastern affairs and international relations, to historians, and to all who are concerned with the issues of war and peace.
