A rich and persuasive account of just how deep-seated and historically rooted the antagonism is between Israelis and Palestinians. --;i>Magill''s Literary Annual 2010 --Ira Smolensky Magill's Literary Annual 2010

Morris is one of the most authoritative historians of the Israeli-Arab conflict. In his new book, he presents and up-to-date interpretation and suggestions for its solution. -Walter Laqueur -- Walter Laqueur What is so striking about Morris's work as a historian is that it does not flatter anyone's prejudices, least of all his own. -David Remnick, New Yorker -- David Remnick * New Yorker * I urge you, in the strongest terms, to read 'One State, Two States.' . . . I very much hope that it will ignite a freer, more honest, radically different conversation on the left, one informed by historical knowledge and current realities rather than the fantasies-alternately sentimental, infantile and grandiose-for which such a high price has been paid by all sides. -Susie Linfield, TruthDig.com -- Susie Linfield * TruthDig.com * gloomy, concise, and spot-on -Commentary * Commentary * Morris details the various proposals for a one-state or two-state solution to the conflict that should have followed the UN General Assembly division of the territory and termination of the [British Mandate]. In a final chapter, he considers correctly that neither solution is practical or realistic. The best option, he feels, would be a West Bank-Gaza-Jordan confederation with Israel. . . . Recommended. -W. Spencer, Choice -- W. Spencer * Choice * A rich and persuasive account of just how deep-seated and historically rooted the antagonism is between Israelis and Palestinians. --Ira Smolensky, Magill's Literary Annual 2010 -- Ira Smolensky * Magill's Literary Annual 2010 *
