Hello - I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good book (or books) that

examines the history of the Israel/Palestine conflict.

I realize that I am woefully ignorant on this topic, and would like to have a better understanding of this very important area of the world.

Thank you in advance.

Wishing you well and peace

son of a General during the “war” with Egypt. It is a memoir, but includes what Peled discovered through having access as a general’s son to military archives.
