Arabs & Israel For Beginners

by Ron David, Susan David (Illustrator)

Overview

Arabs & Israel For Beginners covers the Middle East from ancient times to the present, tells the truth in plain English, and is one of the few non-scholarly books that is relentlessly fair to both Jews and Arabs. If you want to continue to believe fairy tales about Arabs in Israel, don't touch this book - it will surely be hazardous to your closed mind. If you want the truth about 12,000 years of Middle Eastern History, then Arabs & Israel For Beginners is the perfect place to start.

Editorial Reviews

"I have written 10 books about the complex Mideast conflict and read several hundred books on the same subjects. Ron David's is the best book in the field, leading all others including mine by many miles." — Dr. M. T. Medhi, President of the Arab-American Relations Committee

"Well-organized and lucid... [Arabs & Israel for Beginners] does indeed deserve a large reading audience." — Arthur Goldschmidt, Jr., author of A Concose History of the Middle East

"Take the research of Noam Chomsky... enliven it with skillful pensketched drawing... then trace 12,000 years of turbulent history with the irreverence of Saturday Night Live, and you have... Ron David's Arabs & Israel for Beginners." — John Mahoney, Executive Director of Americans for Middle East Understanding
