Customer Review: To understand Benny Morris and his critics, you must recognize two things. First of all, Morris is a fervent supporter of Israel who believes that most anything necessary for the creation and maintenance of a Jewish majority state in Palestine is not only morally justified, but is obviously so.... more info
Customer Review: An excellent, detailed history. After reading this book of 700 pages, I have compared it to Dershowitz, Finkelstein, Neumann and others, and have perceived this detailed account to be rather objective in this revisionist history in both sides of the issues where the conflict exists today.

Written a few years after that work, here Morris broadens that first historical inquiry, providing a response to his critics in the first essay, "The New Historiography: Israel and its Past," a cogent... more info
Customer Review: The birth of the Palestinian refugee problem, 1947-1949, is the work which started a new trend in Israeli historiography 30 years ago. I believe the book has aged well, and if read without an overarching agenda for either side, appears to be a fair assessment of the creation of what would become one... more info
