Who here has read the Book "The Road to Mecca" by Muhammad Asad(a former Austrian Jew who converted and wrote the book in 1954)? It is really good and shows basically from a pro--arab perspective what happened to the near/middle east post wwi. Puts things in perspective since we generally are borderline fellating Isreal.

 

Another great book is

Palestine and the Arab-Israeli Conflict

A History with Documents

5th edition

Charles D. Smith

Dr Smith is the department head at the Univesity of Arizona's Near Easter Studies department. The book has more detail and actual documents that any other book I have read.

 

 Thanks! I'll check that out.
