The origins of the Arab-Israeli conflict are commonly traced to the 20th century, but in reality, the point of no return was passed much earlier. It was the end of the 19th century, the end of the Ottoman Empire. The first wave of idealistic Jews arrived in the Holy Land, believing they were bringing progress and prosperity, but they encountered resistance from the local population. The battle for every inch of land, wells, and jobs quickly escalated into a more global conflict.
Alan Doughty, a renowned historian and professor emeritus at the University of Notre Dame, draws on diaries, memoirs, letters, and newspapers of the era to dispel the myth of peaceful coexistence between peoples before the British Mandate. Why was the population of Palestine so diverse during this period? What role did the Turks play in these events? How did Arabs and Jews perceive each other, unwilling to learn more about each other's culture and way of life? Step by step, Alan Doughty painstakingly recreates the picture of the early conflicts that grew from local disputes into one of the most irreconcilable confrontations in modern history.
