  There are few areas of contemporary study where an explanation of the past is more vital to an understanding of the present than the Arab-Israeli wars. Ritchie Ovendale's study of the roots of these conflicts first appeared in 1984 before being reissued as a Second Edition in 1992. The book has been welcomed as a balanced and judicious introduction to this immensely complex and controversial subject. Now updated the study takes account of recently published literature, and new interpretations.
