Jerusalem 1913: The Origins of the Arab-Israeli Conflict Audiobook

" overall good book and the narrator did a great job. at times it was tough for me to follow along because so much of the information was new to me. but going back a minute and relisting a few times got me all caught up. "

" Interesting for the vast amount of primary sources cited but too editorialised to be taken at face value. "

" I obviously enjoy the story of the conflict between the Arabs and the Jews is , but I fancy the vividness of the author's description of Jerusalem. "

" Focuses on the Ottoman empire's time controlling Jerusalem. Explores how political and social divides started between Arabs and Jews in early 20th century Jerusalem. Interesting general read, not propaganda. "

" Great topic... but jumps around a lot and can be hard to follow. "

" Interesting insights and history into the Zionist movement to create a Jewish state. "

" While I greatly enjoyed this book, I don't feel it lived up to the subtitle given. A great introduction for anyone wanting to know some of the background to the conflict. "

" reading the intro now... seems like it is going in a good direction... fingers crossed. "

" I was looking for something to give me the back story on today's Arab Israeli conflict, and found the book quite informative. It was easy to read, and the way the author focused on four or so individuals to tell the story really gave it a human element. "

" A very insightful and fascinating book which I just couldn't seem to put down. It was very refreshing to read a book about a highly sensitive subject such as the Arab/Israeli conflict which was unbiased and gave a clear overview of key events which spread out over more than a century. "

" Maybe not the cause of it all but a good primer. "

" Last summer, I wanted to become more aware of the conflict in the Middle East, so I picked up this book. It was a nice overview of the conflict, but I don't feel like the questions I had going in were answered. It seemed to me that something was missing from the book. "

" So far, so good...not biased like one might expect from someone so heavily invested in the area. "

" I couldn't finish it, good material, just boring "

" I think the book was a good idea, filling in some gaps in general appreciation of the origins of the on-going conflict in the middle east, although it fell short of its potential. "

" I learned a lot about the early days of the Zionist movement, and even more about the people involved, both Jew and Arab, who were involved. Really interesting read. "
