The Israel-Arab Reader: A Documentary History of the Middle East Conflict: Eighth Revised and Updated Edition Paperback – September 20, 2016
Purchase options and add-ons
In print for nearly half a century, and now in its eighth edition, The Israel-Arab Reader is an authoritative guide to over a century of conflict in the Middle East. It covers the full spectrum of a violent and checkered history—the origins of Zionism and Arab nationalism, the struggles surrounding Israel’s independence in 1948, the Six-Day War and other wars and hostilities over the decades, and the long diplomatic process and many peace initiatives.
Arranged chronologically and without bias by two veteran historians of the Middle East, this comprehensive reference brings together speeches, letters, articles, and reports involving all the major interests in the area. The eighth edition features a new introduction as well as a large new section—more than 40 pages—recounting developments over the last decade, including the intra-Palestinian factional strife between Fatah and Hamas, the roles played by Egypt and Iran in the region, enduring arguments over a two-state solution and the right of return for Palestinian refugees, and issues of human rights abuse and terrorism.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2023I am still from the world of books, computers tend to not be as reliable as one may assume in regards to seeking sources. This book is essential for people involved with the study of the Middle East, it is well put together, appears to be void of any bias, just facts as they occurred, primarily documents.
Book arrived safely and on time.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2016Great!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2019Great book
- Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2018I am not persuaded that this collection of texts presents a real interest without a commentary. It exists and can help a teacher in supporting his work on this subject.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2017What gives? Paperback = $9.31. Kindle version = $16.99!!!!!!!
Come on Penguin publishing. Kindle should always be priced lower than any printed copy except papyrus or clay tablets.
