Description
The Accidental Empire: Israel and the Birth of the Settlements, 1967-1977 Gershom Gorenberg's groundbreaking study of the settler movement in Israel offers a fresh perspective on a pivotal period in the country's history. By examining the complex interplay of factors that shaped the movement, Gorenberg reveals a narrative that challenges many of our assumptions about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Drawing on newly opened archives and extensive interviews, Gorenberg sheds light on the roles of key figures, including prominent politicians and leaders, in the development of the settler movement. He also explores the strategic decisions made by American presidents during this period, and how these decisions continue to influence the region today. This insightful book provides a nuanced understanding of the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the historical context of the region.
