Just received this is the mail:
The Arab/Israeli conflict is among the most intractable disputes in the world today. In this meticulously researched and well-written work, historian Alex Grobman systematically and methodically exposes the myths and lies about the Arab right to the land of Israel. REVIEW - "This is a phenomenal book. The research is impeccable and the narrative one of the most compelling I have ever read. This book dispels the untruths and reveals the real truth behind the creation of the State of Israel. This should be required reading for every college student studying the Middle East and for that matter for anyone who wants to be enlightened with the truth surrounding the State of Israel. I consider this one of the most important books ever written on the Middle East." Steve Emerson, Executive Director, The Investigative Project on Terrorism and author of the national best seller "American Jihad: The Terrorists Among Us."
I've linked to web postings by Grobman a number of times as they often hit will on themes we're interested in. The book looks very interesting, with a lot of important history packed in to a small space. Looking forward to this one.
I wonder how it compares to Efraim Karsh new book? Are they similar ?
"Palestine Betrayed"
This title will mislead a lot of people into thinking it is against Israel. Why such a misbegotten title? It is already being linked on YouTube with anti-Israel videos. Bad idea, that title.
