Format:Paperback
This book is a great introduction to the subject, with loads of detail and supporting documents and maps. It's suitable for someone with very little background as it starts from the early tribal peoples of the middle east and tracks forward to show how today's situation has developed. Most of all I found it scrupulously balanced and the author strives to understand and explain the motives and reasoning of all parties, without prejudice. It's very detailed and can be quite a heavy read (possibly this is what prompted the Wikipedia comment of another reviewer)

Format:Paperback
I used this book for my undergraduate study some years ago and for a quality back-drop to further study of this area you can't go wrong. Very readable and better informed than the popular but way too light-weight BBC history on the same subject 'Fifty Years War".

Format:Paperback
Well-written, easy to follow, provocative, but with arguments based on documented facts and primary sources. Regardless of whether one agrees with the writer's subtly stated opinion, the approach is strictly scientific, presenting arguments- and more importantly sources for further investigation- stemming from both sides.
A great book, surely a must for beginners on the subject!
