Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
Making sense of any particular episode in the long and convoluted conflict between Arabs and Israelis can seem a Sisyphean task--engineering peace in the Middle East has become nearly clichéd in its complexity, with each individual dispute traceable back to years of anger, mistrust, and mutual misunderstanding fueled by cycles of violence and revenge. To add to this confusion, the historical record has been colored by "emphatic partisanship by commentators and historians from both sides, as well as by foreign observers," adds Middle East historian Benny Morris. So what Morris has undertaken in this volume--an inclusive, dispassionate, and rigorous history of the conflict, from Zionism's birth in the wake of the Russian pogroms through to the uncertain prospects for peace in 1999--is no mean feat.
A calm, balanced voice (although a controversial one among some who fear revisionism), Morris has previously proven his scholarship with such definitive titles as Israel's Border Wars and The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem. Righteous Victims likewise doesn't waver in its task, methodically unearthing the political and military roots of the struggle, from early friction between Zionist "colonizers" and native Arabs slowly through to the establishment of Israel and the bloody wars and terrorism that followed. --Paul Hughes -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.
From Booklist
Morris, a professor of history at Ben-Gurion University and author of four previous books on the history of Israel and Palestine, states in his preface his intention to relate the story of the conflict between Arabs and Zionists by covering Israel, the Palestinians, and the Arab states from the 1880s to the present. He goes on to focus on the central components of the conflict in the political and military spheres, devoting relatively little space to the internal politics. The book is based largely on secondary works; the bibliography lists 10 archives and more than 300 books and articles, which amounts to a massive amount of research. World War II, the Balfour Declaration, and the British Mandate are analyzed in lucid detail; examined, too, are the Israeli-Egyptian Peace Treaty of 1979 and the Intifada uprising in 1987. This comprehensive and balanced work is mandatory reading for anyone interested in the long and bitter history of this conflict. George Cohen

Thousands of books have been written on the Israeli-Arab conflict. Virtually all of these have been partisan. Here we have the first objective history covering the conflict from its 19th century inception right up to the 21st century. "Righteous Victims" is not a history of Israel nor a history of Palestine. It is a history of the conflict and it covers the subject comprehensively, objectively and with acute insight. No serious student of the Middle East can afford to ignore this book.

I read Avi Shlaim's _Iron Wall_ shortly after finishing this comprehensive history and Morris seems ponderous by comparison. I had to renew his book from the library six times to finish it. Morris upfront about telling readers that he writes from an Israeli perspective, because he has more access to Israeli sources. An interesting review of the book in the March 13, 2000 issue of _The Jerusalem Report_ says this is no excuse. Morris could have sought the help of Arabic speakers to read Arab sources.
I was a little taken aback by his casual references to the Israeli attacks on the U.S.S. Liberty in 1967 and on the U.N. headquarters at Kafr Kana in 1995 as regrettable accidents, without mentioning there is considerable interational controversy over whether these attacks were accidental. Still, the book covers a large swathe of history and helps the reader to put the Israeli-Palestinian conflict within a largely demythologized framework.

Beware of this book! Benny Morris is well known for his extreme anti-Israeli politics. See Efraim Karsh's, "Fabricating Israeli History: The New Historians", for example's of Benny Morris' deliberate distortion of historical sources to fit his extreme left wing ideology.
