Synopsis

"Deals authoritatively with some of the most critical issues facing Israel in the last half-century. The authors write with objectivity, presenting original insights in a diverse range of subjects."--Don Peretz, emeritus professor of political science, State University of New York at Binghamton

This comprehensive review of the first 50 years of Israel's existence surveys the major events of its history as well as the underlying trends in Israeli politics, economics, and foreign policy that will direct the country's evolution into the new century. Combining a rich variety of viewpoints among Israeli, Arab, and American scholars, representatives of the political left and right, and, among the Jewish scholars, representatives of both secular and religious perspectives, this is the single-volume source for anyone seeking to understand Israel as it enters the 21st century.
