Publisher Synopsis
"Cohen's work is a valuable resource in these horrendous times. Neither `pro-Israeli' nor `pro-Palestinian', it is impossible to requisition, which may, in part, explain why he was never elevated to the rank of Israel's `new historians'. He writes critically about Zionism and sympathetically about Jews who ran to Palestine for their lives; he writes with great honesty about Palestinians who were forced to co-operate with Israel, and those who chose to fight. He has a rich, dialectical understanding of the Jewish-Arab relationship, and though he would never compare the occupier to the occupied, his writing will make Jewish and Palestinian readers equally uncomfortable." * London Review of Books * Read more...
