Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict

Norman G. Finkelstein currently teaches Political Theory and History at DePaul University in Chicago. He is author of The Holocaust Industry, The Rise and Fall of Palestine, and (with Ruth Bettina Birn) of A Nation on Trial, named a notable book for 1998 by the New York Times Book Review.

"Norman Finkelstein is one of the most radical and hard-hitting critics of the official Zionist version of the Arab-Israeli conflict and of the historians who support this version. ... a major contribution to the study of the Arab-Israeli conflict which deserves to be widely read, especially in the United States." -- Avi Shlaim, St. Antony's College, Oxford University "Anyone interested in seeing justice brought to the Middle East must read this book." -- Charles Glass, former ABC Middle East correspondent "... this thouroughly documented book is guaranteed to stimulate and provoke. It will be required reading in the continuing war of the historians." -- William Quandt, Foreign Affairs "... the most revealing study of the historical background of the conflict and the current peace agreement." -- Noam Chomsky, The Guardian "... a thought provoking work which calls into question many of the accepted 'truths' associated with the Israeli-Palestine conflict." -- Middle East Journal "... both an impressive analysis of Zionist ideology and a searing but scholarly indictment of Israel's treatment of the Arabs since 1948." -- London Review of Books
