Description
The outbreak of violence in Palestine in 1929 marked a turning point in the region's history. Historian Hillel Cohen argues that this event, rather than the conflicts of 1948 and 1967, should be seen as the starting point of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Cohen's detailed examination of the events of August 23 to September 1, 1929, reveals the complex and multifaceted nature of the conflict. He draws on a range of sources, including Arab and Hebrew texts, to explore the attitudes and perceptions of both sides. By examining the memories and historiography of this period, Cohen sheds new light on the origins of the conflict and its enduring legacy. This book offers a fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in modern Middle Eastern history, making it of interest to historians, political scientists, and anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the region's ongoing conflict.
