Ian BLACK. Enemies and neighbours : Arabs and Jews in Palestine and Israel, 1917-2017. [London] : Penguin Books, 2018, xxii, 605p.
A century after Britain's Balfour Declaration promised a Jewish 'national home' in Palestine, veteran Guardian journalist Ian Black has produced a major new history of one of the most polarising conflicts of the modern age. Drawing on a wide range of sources - from declassified documents to oral testimonies and his own decades of reporting - "Enemies and Neighbours" brings much-needed perspective and balance to the long and unresolved struggle between Arabs and Jews in the Holy Land.
