Negative Positive
Title: propaganda, not history
Review: When I read the book description on Amazon ("This atlas offers a balanced and comprehensive visual history of the age-old Arab-Israeli conflict") I had to laugh. First of all, for a "historical" book to describe the Arab-Israeli conflict as "age-old" is ludicrous, and I think, illustrates the kind of "historian" that Gilbert is (that is, not a very good one). This book is not comprehensive, and it is CERTAINLY not balanced. It's clearly Zionist in it's viewpoint and heavily skewed in its presentation.
Is the review positive or negative?
