An Improbable Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (Hardcover)

Hardcover. A century of conflict. Thousands of years of history. Competing claims that resist easy answers.In An Improbable Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Steven C. Markoff assembles a wide-ranging, data-driven examination of one of the most enduring and divisive disputes in modern history. Drawing on historical records, demographic data, land ownership figures, and extensive quotations from voices on both sides, this work presents the core issues of the conflict without advocacy or simplification.Rather than offering a conventional narrative, Markoff takes a deliberately analytical approach-mapping key events from ancient history through the present, comparing competing claims, and presenting conflicting interpretations side by side. The result is a structured, fact-based framework designed to help readers better understand how deeply rooted, and how complex, the conflict has become.With more than half the volume dedicated to appendices, primary documents, and reference materials, this book serves not only as a broad overview but also as a resource for readers seeking to explore the underlying facts and arguments in greater depth.An Improbable Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict does not claim to resolve the conflict-but it aims to clarify the terrain on which any meaningful discussion must begin. In An Improbable Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Steven C. Markoff assembles a wide-ranging, data-driven examination of one of the most enduring and divisive disputes in modern history.
