His account offers a clear analytic framework for understanding transformations over time, and in doing so, punctures the myths of an 'age-old' conflict with an unbridgeable gap between the two sides. Rather than simply reciting historical detail, the book presents an overview that serves as a road map through the thicket of conflicting claims. Updated to include contemporary developments, such as the recent Israeli elections and the debate over the two-state solution, the new edition presents in full the opposed perspectives of the two sides, leaving readers to make their own evaluations of the issues."-- Taken from back cover.
