1948: A History of the First Arab-Israeli War by Benny Morris
English | 2009 | ISBN: 0300151128, 0300126964 | PDF | 544 pages | 3.5 MB
This history of the foundational war in the Arab-Israeli conflict is groundbreaking, objective, and deeply revisionist. A riveting account of the military engagements, it also focuses on the war's political dimensions. Benny Morris probes the motives and aims of the protagonists on the basis of newly opened Israeli and Western documentation. The Arab side—where the archives are still closed—is illuminated with the help of intelligence and diplomatic materials.
