This book is extremely well researched, using Israeli documents opened to the public after a period of about 50 years. It casts a new light on Israeli-Arab relations. Many opportunities for a peaceful solution were missed. Schlaim’s tone is careful and balanced. At the time it was published it added a lot of new information.
blatant bias and has been disproven... read with a bit more than a grain of salt ;)
excellent history, well written comprehensive and illuminatin
Very informative but sad for the Palestinian people. They need to get their act together by espousing peace and realism!
Some reviews of Shlaim's "Iron Wall" suggest incorrectly that it explains the roots of Arab-Jewish conflict over Palestine. In fact the book offers only a 27-page "prologue," insightful and well written but largely based on secondary and tertiary sources and far too limited in scope. So far the best work on this topic remains the somewhat formal and pedantic first 129 pages of Kimmerling's and Migdal's "Palestinian People." Shlaim's book provides notably concise summaries, so effective that the first one or two pages of each chapter provide enough information for a first reading of the book.
Excellent Overview of Palestine and Israeli Policy. One of the best overviews. Takes everything chronologically so things fit into context Not as repetitious as many.
Avi Shlaim, The Iron Wall, Israel and the Arab World delves into the Arab-Israeli conflict from the assertion of Israeli independence, however it also breifly yet discriptively and informatively discusses the concept of Zionism and its rootsm including excerpts from Herzl and Jabotinsky. From its use of Jabotinsky early in the book, Avi Shlaim uses his essay discussing an Israeli Iron Wall of power superiority (generally hard power) throughout the whole book to essentially provide and analysis, analogy and comparison of Israeli policy towards its Arab neightbours, the broader Arab world and the international community itself.People may unfarily brandish Avi Shlaim as a revionist historian in a negative sense: I would argue the opposite. Yes he is a revionist historian but in a positive sense. His writings are neither ideological or partial towards the Arabs and emotional. This book is the work of a realist who is fair, concise and factual. He adresses longstanding propagandised facts by adhering to the use of largely primary sources. He dispels the notion of "There is no one for Israel to talk to on the Arab side", "Israel is a david state while the Arabs are goliath" and "Israel best serves its security interests in the contemparary geo-political situation by using raw power as its basis for negotians". Revisionism is often far more reliable then historians from the time: They do not have the emotional and political connection to politics of the period rendering them more so impartial and factual then others.Israel has a long history of creating facts on the ground to best suit the national interests of the Greater Israel ideolouge, however, Shlaim delves into the complezities of these factoids and discusses the power relationship between the Arabs and Israel in an inquisitive manner. He constantly brings up Israeli-American relations basing them on reality. American support for Israel is not 100%, as some will have you believe.Unfortunately the book didn't delve into the political situation between Israel and Clintons America to an extenet which was necassary. It would have been a good use of an aditional 6-7 pagse if he adressed Clintons extentsion of domestic politics to foregin policy, which allowe AIAPAC to infaltrate congress and his government increassing the support for Israeli policy towards Palestine and the Arabs.Altogether however it is one of the more interesting recollections and revisions of Israel history you will read- while at all time making good use of largely Israeli sources and primary sources.
I originally bought this book more than a year ago, but I put off reading it because it was published in 2000 which meant that it wouldn't discuss some of the extremely important events that have occurred in the last 9 to 10 years. So, I continued to put this book on the backburner while I read more recent works. What I found, though, was that more and more of these recent works quoted Avi Shlaim's account. The more and more I found this book to be referenced by historians of today, the harder it became for me to ignore this book. Last month I finally picked up this important book and began to read this author's preeminent account of Israeli history. I have been greatly awarded for my effort.It reaffirmed some of the conclusions I had come hold, while at the same time challenging others. This is the importance of this book. It doesn't take sides, and the author spreads the blame for the current (and the past) impasse on all sides. The fact is that there is more than enough blame to go around, but what was interesting was how so much of this conflict was due to nothing more than misunderstandings and each side's inability to view the situation from the other's perspective. So much of this conflict was perpetuated by nothing more than the ruling elites being forced into political and military blunders by domestic political situations. Whether it is Nasser's gross miscalculation in militarizing and closing off the Straits of Tiran to shore up his reputation in Egypt and the larger Arab world, or whether it was Peres' assassination of Yahya Ayyash to toughen up his reputation before Israeli elections, much of this conflict has its roots in bad decisions made by political elites in the hopes of retaining power.Another reason this book struck me was the inherent weakness when it comes to Democratic states and diplomacy. For the two main democratic states in this story, Israel and the U.S., their policies varied wildly from one election to the next. This is very well illustrated by the Carter to Reagan to Bush administrations in the U.S., and is equally illustrated by the Rabin to Peres to Netanyahu in Israel. This schizophrenic diplomacy pursued by the democracies contrasts amazingly with the consistency of the regimes of Jordan and Syria, and magnifies the problems in dealing consistently with states whose foreign policy can change so dramatically every few years. I found this contrast to be enlightening and very informative of how and why this conflict has seen so many ups and downs over the years.This is a very complex and convoluted issue, and any work that attempts to take an honest look at the issues and the history will be a help to any reader in making sense of this conflict. This book is that honest attempt, and that is why it is so important.
