N2  - "In this fully revised and expanded fifth edition of his highly respected introductory text, Alan Dowty demystifies the conflict by putting it into broad historical perspective, identifying its roots, and tracing its evolution up to the current impasse. His account offers a clear analytic framework for understanding transformations over time, and in doing so, punctures the myths of an 'age-old' conflict with an unbridgeable gap between the two sides. Rather than simply reciting historical detail, the book presents an overview that serves as a road map through the thicket of conflicting claims. Updated to include contemporary developments, such as the recent Israeli elections and the debate over the two-state solution, the new edition presents in full the opposed perspectives of the two sides, leaving readers to make their own evaluations of the issues."--
