Reviews

"This is a clear requirement for inclusion in any collection dealing with the Arab-Israeli conflict."—Choice
"This is an outstanding historical analysis of a core component to the current Middle East dilemma between Israel and the Palestinians, not only because of the density of the Palestinian population but also its proximity to Jerusalem."—Choice Reviews
"Based on a meticulous examination of numerous Israeli, US, and British archives, as well as relevant Arabic and Russian literature, Avshalom Rubin covers the role of the West Bank in the Arab-Israeli conflict in a comprehensive way. His book stands alone at the top of work on Israeli-Jordanian relations of the period."—Robert Freedman, author of Israel and the United States: Six Decades of US-Israeli Relations
