Iraq In World War I
I read this book after reading the first chapter of Iron Wall by Avi Shlaim, which gave a better big picture idea of the war, though now looked to be a very partial view of things. This book, on the other hand, appears to side the Jews. By focusing on military details of the Palestine War, which got quite confusing to me, it showed that at ground level, the situation then was a lot more complex. The Arabs were on the offensive, violently rejecting the Partition Resolution of 1947. The Israeli had to respond in order to survive attack from all their bordering neighbours. Miraculously, the war ended with the Jewish state stretching over a greater territory than was first assigned to them. The last chapter that discusses the birth of the Palestinian refugee problem was enlightening to me. This concise book served well as a single puzzle piece in my own quest to understand the Aracb-Isreali conflict.
