Zusammenfassung:School Library Journal: This book offers 20 speeches by major players in the history of this turmoil, beginning with David Ben-Gurion's 1946 address to the Anglo-American Committee that would decide the fate of the future state of Israel and ending with Ariel Sharon's 2002 plea for peace. An excellent introductory essay sets the stage for the modern conflict by delving into the Diaspora, the European Zionism movement, and the political impact of the World Wars, leading up to the 1948 formation of Israel. The balanced discussion of the region's turmoil since that point should be read by any students attempting to understand this region's complex history. The text of each speech is prefaced by an introduction that includes biographical information, pertinent history, and some analysis of its structure and impact. A thorough "Appendix of Biographies," a chronology (1878-October 9, 2003), and a detailed index with "see also" references are included. A list of titles for further research offers not only guidance to other books but could also serve librarians as a collection-development tool as it includes both classic and contemporary works.
