More Description A critical history of Israel and the Arab-Israeli conflict
Eminent historian Arno J. Mayer traces the thinkers, leaders, and shifting geopolitical contexts that shaped the founding and development of the Israeli state. He recovers for posterity internal critics such as the philosopher Martin Buber, who argued for peaceful coexistence with the Palestinian Arabs. "A sense of limits is the better part of valour," Mayer insists.
