  Elon charts the trajectory of politics in the modern Middle East, and the progress of relations between Jews and Arabs----and among the Israelis themselves----over the course of nearly thirty years. Sensitive, informed, and beautifully written, this is a powerful account of the past, present, and future of one of the most fascinating and turbulent places in the world.
