Description for Year Zero of the Arab-Israeli Conflict 1929
Paperback. A new and provocative reassessment of the origins of the Arab-Israeli conflict Translator(s): Watzman, Haim. Num Pages: 312 pages. BIC Classification: 1FBH; 1FBP; 3JJG; HBJF1; HBLW. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). .

Reviews for Year Zero of the Arab-Israeli Conflict 1929
Cohen's work is a valuable resource in these horrendous times.
