Title: Fair and Ballanced Survey
Review: Do not believe the charges of anti-semitism.This book is critical of both sides but based on exhaustive research into primary sources: the files of the Israeli government and army. If you only want to hear the propaganda from one side or another, avoid this book.I would criticize the maps as inadequate, a detailed map of the region in the endpaper would have been just the thing. Also, the author assumes a familiarity with people and events in the areawhich went well beyond my knowledge, until I read the book.Update: 10 December 2002Wow. I got a ton of "unhelpful" votes for the above review. My review was not particularly well written, nor spell checked (now corrected!), nor was it detailed. But 17 out of 85 unhelpful? I wonder, wonder what is going on.
Is the review positive or negative?
