Summary:

"This book illuminates one of the most complex international conflicts of the 20th and early 21st centuries. It begins with a discussion of the historical roots and then analyzes various dimensions of this unresolved conflict, including the struggle for Jerusalem; perceptions of the conflict by leaders and officials; their acts of violence and of political hostility; the mostly-failed attempts at conflict resolution from 1937 to 2014; and the author's assessments of the way of out of the seven-decade impasse." -- Back cover.
