Israel by Martin Gilbert
A History
A comprehensive narrative history that traces the origins and development of the Jewish state from Zionist roots and Ottoman and British rule through the 1948 war of independence, the major Arab–Israeli conflicts (including 1956, 1967 and 1973), and later peace initiatives and setbacks. Blending diplomatic, military and political reportage with biographical sketches of key leaders, the book examines the impact of the Holocaust, waves of immigration, nation-building, and economic and social change while documenting contentious issues such as territory, refugees, settlements and relations with neighboring states. Its chronological, evidence-based approach seeks to explain both the achievements and the enduring challenges that have shaped Israeli society and its place in the world.
