Shlaim presents compelling evidence for a revaluation\nof traditional Israeli history.”—New York Times Book Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor this newly expanded edition, Avi Shlaim has added four\nchapters and an epilogue that address the prime ministerships\nfrom Barak to Netanyahu in the “one book everyone\nshould read for a concise history of Israel’s relations with\nArabs” (Independent). What was promulgated as an “iron-wall”\nstrategy—building a position of unassailable strength—\nwas meant to yield to a further stage where Israel would be\nstrong enough to negotiate a satisfactory peace with its\nneighbors. The goal still remains elusive, if not even further\naway. This penetrating study brilliantly illuminates past progress\nand future prospects for peace in the Middle East.","brand":"Avi Shlaim","offers":[{"title":"WW Norton |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2014-10-21","offer_id":48277127758079,"sku":"9780393346862","price":42.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_69414246-b14f-45f3-9905-46f2fefde4fc.jpg?v=1773163641","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9780393346862","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
