ISBN10: 0141033223, ISBN13: 9780141033228, [publisher: Penguin Books Ltd, London] Softcover Paperback. The outstanding book on Israeli foreign policy, now thoroughly updatedIsrael's conflict with the Palestinians, and the Arab world at large, casts a long shadow over her history. When 1920s Zionist leaders formulated the 'Iron Wall' strategy - negotiating from a position of unassailable strength - they intended that a stronger Israel would eventually be able to make peace with her Arab neighbours. This has been an elusive hope.Here, Shlaim explores the reasons for Israel's long reliance on military power in the absence of settlement. His analysis will bring scant comfort to partisans on either side, but it is required reading for anyone interested in this fascinating, troubled land. In the 1920s, hard-line Zionists developed the doctrine of the 'Iron Wall': negotiations with the Arabs must always be from a position of military strength, and only when sufficiently strong Israel would be able to make peace with her Arab neighbours. This book focuses on Israeli foreign policy. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
