Negative Positive
Title: Good starter
Review: This is a very good starter for anyone wishing to learn about the battles over Israel. My one quibble is there could have been some better editing (I noticed a few typos) and he could have had more information on Arab and Muslim countries sooner in the book, and more of it. It tends cast the region's conflict in terms of how the region deals with Israel, and tends to give Israel more of the benefit of the doubt. For instance, I think he could be harder on the whole idea of the settlements. But I woulnd't accuse him of pro-Israel bias, as some of the clealry hate-filled reviewers below do. There is naturally going to be an appearance of bias in an unadorned account, because the Arabs have chosen political change through the murder of innocents. There is not moral equivalence. See the book "Right to Exist" for more on that.
Is the review positive or negative?
