Of the numerous books devoted to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Univ. of Michigan political science professor Tessler's contribution certainly ranks among the most extensive and thorough. Given the highly polemical nature of the discourse over Israel/Palestine, Tessler's ability to provide a balanced account of the dispute should be commended. Chronologically organized and well documented through the Oslo peace process of the 1990s, his book is significantly sketchier with respect to the events of the last decade. Even so, and in spite of its somewhat intimidating length, students and scholars of the modern Middle East will find it useful. The litany of statistical information in the book, neatly arranged in tables spread within the various chapters, is particularly noteworthy, as are the 23 well-drawn maps. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. M. Gershovich University of Nebraska, Omaha
