ECONOMIST, SUNDAY TIMES, FINANCIAL TIMES AND GUARDIAN BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2017 'Comprehensive and compelling ... A nuanced, landmark štúdie, ktoré sa deservedli pri plaudiť z dlažby Palestínskej a izraelskej histórie' Justin Maroz mised a Jewish 'national home' v Palestíne, veterán Guardian journalist Ian Black je vyrobený v novej histórii jedného mosta polarizujúcich conflicts of modern age. Drawing on wide range of sources - from declassified documents to oral testimonis and his own decades of reporting - Enemies and Neighbours brings much-needed perspective and balance to the long and unresolved struggle between Arabs and Jews in Holy Land. Začiatok v priebehu rokov Ottoman ruleand britský mandát period, keď Zionist immigracie transformoval Palestínu na tvár presadenia arabskej opozície, kniha re-examines origins čo bolo a doomed relationship od štartu. It sheds fresh light on critical events such as Arab rebellion of the 1930s; Israel's independence and the Palestina catastrophe (Nakba in Arabic) of 1948; the watershed of the 1967 war; two Intifadas; the Oslo Accords and Israel's shift to the right. It traces how - po päť dekádach occupation, ever-expanding drahokamy a výstavby západnej banky 'separation wall' - hopes pre dva-state riešenia majú všetky zanedbané, a explorovať, ktoré budú future might hold. Yet Black as goes before the bridge of newsworthy events - wars, violence and peace initiatives - to capture thereality of everyday life on the ground in Jerusalem and Hebron, Tel Aviv,Ramallah, Haifa and Gaza, for both sides of unequal struggle. Lucid, timelyand gripping, Enemies a Neighbours illuminates a bitter conflict, že ukazuje, že nie je signalizovať - ktoré je to, čo je to isté, čo je podvedené.
