Finally. An Arab-Israeli debate in book form.

Looking for books on the history of Israel and the ugly Arab-Israeli conflict, I stumbled across this one in the stacks of a used bookstore.An American Jew and an Arab-American write fact-filled, partisan opening statements, rebuttals and then enter into a face-to-face debate (transcribed and moderated by journalist and writer David Shipler).Although written in the late 1980s, this book is exactly the right prescription for befuddled Americans who, more than they need a purportedly objective history of the region, need to get a pro-Arab and a pro-Israeli in a locked room to duke it out.There are no easy answers, but readers get a look at the facts "through different eyes."
