This book, first published in 1978, examines the confrontation of the Jewish community of Palestine - the Yishuv - with its Arab question in the period immediately following World War 1, a period of excitement and uncertainty.

Most students of the history of Arab-Jewish relations have come to take for granted the stubborn resistance of the continuing dispute to any form of lasting and 'reasonable' solution. This book, first published in 1983, examines early Arab-Zionist negotiating experience with the assumption that this has direct relevance to our understanding of the possible outcomes of diplomatic approaches to resolving the conflict. Its main purpose is to assemble (half of the book consists of original souce documents) and discuss some of the raw material which may help readers focus more clearly on the...

This book, first published in 1997, focuses on the Anglo-American cooperation which began during the relatively uneventful years 1953 and 1954, and which led to a covert operation, code-named 'Alpha', which aimed - unsuccessfully - at convincing Egyptian and Israeli leaders to consider a settlement through secret negotiations. As with the other three volumes that make up Futile Diplomacy, this volume comprises Dr Caplan's expert in-depth analysis with a wealth of primary source documents, making this a key reference source in the study of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

This volume offers readers a series of snapshots of the Middle Eastern conflict from the late 1970s to the present, and takes them along the ups and downs of the still-unfinished peace process. Each article offers Professor Herb Kelman's distinctive take on the issues, and focuses on the conflicting parties' perceptions, the obstacles to peace, and the political and psychological conditions needed for progress towards peace and reconciliation. The articles are of much more than historical or academic interest. Some are eerily prescient, predicting what would happen if negotiations of the...
