An American rabbi and a Palestinian lecturer jointly author this innovative introduction to the Middle-East Conflict. The result is a real insight into both the facts and emotions behind the two sides of the debate, and no issue is avoided, however conflict-ridden. The conclusion is a direct exchange between the two authors, which raises many further issues, but which sees both sides holding out hope for a real solution in the future.
