About this title: This comprehensive history of the state of Israel covers political and military events of more than a century and is written by a revisionist Israeli historian. Beginning with the Zionist dream of a Jewish homeland following Russian pogroms in the 19th century, the author reviews the years of the British Mandate in Palestine and the fight for an independent Jewish state, and provides in-depth analysis of the various wars between Israel and its Arab neighbors following the founding of Israel in 1948. Morris considers the prospects for peace at the end of the 1990's, the time of the writing of ...

"A long (678 pages) slog through a very detailed and even-handed account of the subject. Although it contains way more detail on the wars than I needed, the information on the political side of the conflict left me with a much better understanding of the issue of Palestine. Like reading a college text. Took me 3 1/2 months. Updated to 2001."
"Benny Morris rose to the forefront of Israel's 'New Historians' in the 1980's with the publication of 'Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem,' which provided radically new evidence which altered modern perceptions of the region forever. Morris retains his important findings in Righteous Victims and expands on them, covering virtually the entire history of the Israel-Palestine conflict. I found the earlier chapters leading up to the creation of the State of Israel on the earliest Zionist settlers to be particularly interesting; Morris presents a picture which indicates that the current bloodshed is by no means a product of natural necessity. The ethnic cleansing of Palestine and subsequent military occupation is the cause. However, Morris becomes overly ideological in the concluding sections of the book, allowing his harsh realist politics to creep in. Nevertheless, this is arguably the most comprehensive single volume about the history of the conflict."
