The Shortest History of Israel and Palestine: From Zionism to Intifadas and the Struggle for Peace by Michael Scott-Baumann

4.0

As might be expected from the title the book is an overview. It is useful for getting the overall scope of major events from the Balfour Declaration in the earlier 20th century to the present (October 2023). There are places in the telling where we are given an Israeli version next to a Palestinian version. It serves well as an introduction, not as a final stop in a search for understanding.
