Title: Righteous victims
First published: 1999
Description: "Righteous Victims, is a comprehensive and objective history of the long battle between Arabs and Jews for possession of a land they both call home."--BOOK JACKET. "Professor Morris finds the roots of this conflict in the deep religious, ethnic, and political differences between the Zionist immigrants and the native Arab population of Palestine."--BOOK JACKET.

"Tracing the successes and failures of politicians, generals, and diplomats in both camps, he regards their actions and plight with accuracy and empathy, drawing on archival materials, memoirs, and secondary works to give a vivid account of each major military encounter - and of the vicissitudes of peace efforts from the post-1948 negotiations through the Camp David (1977-79), Oslo (1993-95), and Wye River Plantation (1998) accords."--BOOK JACKET.

"Righteous Victims ends with Mr. Morris's analysis of the current state of play, when the election of Ehud Barak as prime minister (May 1999) has opened the door to a renewal of negotiations between Israel and its Palestinian and Syrian neighbors."--BOOK JACKET.
