The Origins and Evolution of the Arab-Zionist Conflict

Michael J. Cohen. University of California Press, $26.95 (200pp) ISBN 978-0-520-06598-7

The author here focuses on a fundamental contradiction that has led to more than 70 years of dispute: Britain promised Palestine to both the Arabs and the Jews. ``A basic survey of British-Arab-Zionist relations, this useful study is intended as a nonspecialist's guide to the Arab-Israeli conflict,'' reported PW.
