About this title

From School Library Journal

Grade 9 Up-Another timely entry in the series. This volume presents six chapters arranged in a debate format that focus on the history, current socioeconomic considerations, and global political effects of Arab-Israeli conflicts. It is a thorough collation of diverse opinions written by journalists, academics, and religious and political leaders. Each article is prefaced by a short essay giving author background and viewpoint. This balanced, well-documented approach to the complicated and emotional issues facing Israel will help students clarify their own thinking and provide ample research sources. Well-selected maps, political cartoons, and boxed quotes are scattered throughout; a concise chronology of Middle Eastern historical events, an annotated list of organizations to contact, and an extensive bibliography are appended.
