Summary: Myth Buster
Comment: Bard offers a concise guide to the reality of the Arab-Israeli conflict, with particular focus on things often left out of the propanganda. Here are a smatering of facts offered and myths dismissed:
*Israel continues to be the only country where Arab men and women are allowed to speak freely and vote in free and fair elections for candidates of thier own choice.
*The Arabs insist Israel give up the territory won in the 1967 war for a Palestinian State, without ever mentioning that Jordan and Egypt controlled these territories from '48-'67 without making a single move to give the Palestinians a country.
*Syria and Lebannon herd Palestinians into camps, denying them citizenship or the right to own property in order to win propaganda points.
*The Palestinians continue to reject Israel's offers to abandon the Gaza Strip and 95% of the West Bank in exchange for peace.
*The Arab war on Israel predates the ocupation of the west bank and gaza by almost two decades.
*During the 19 years of Jordanian rule of Jerusalem not a single Arab leader took the time to visit this so-called holy city.
*Unlike Israel, which defends all holy sites, the Jordanians detroyed 2000 year old Jewish cemeteries in Jerusalem, and the Palestinian Authority continues to destroy Jewish holy sites like Jacob's Tomb.
Everyone interested in the Middle East should first become aware of these facts. Bards book cuts through the porpaganda giving the reader a view of the reality of the region and its history.

Summary: Simplistic and Illogical Propaganda
Comment: This book is divided into many short chapters, each of which picks one supposedly "Arab myth" and tries to refute it. The list of topics is quite elementary and the 'refutations' are superficial and in many cases illogical or self-contradicting. The book places much emphasis on trivialities like names and terminology instead of substance, leading to absurd contradictions like claiming an inherent Jewish right to Palestine based on residence 2000 years ago, while denying the same right to Palestinians who were born there. Briefly, this book [appears to be] an attempt to meddle myths and facts beyond recognition....

Summary: History Based on Verifiable Facts
Comment: In a world which seems to care less and less for verifiable historical facts, Bard's book restores the reader's faith that the truth lies in verifiable facts. Unlike many other publications (and media pundits), hardly no statement in the book is included which cannot be easily verified through its original source. Bard's use of references is complete, providing reader's with not only the source's content but also necessary information such as title, authors, volumes, publisher, chapter/pages etc., (for research purposes). Therein lies the beauty of it all: Each reader can consult the ORIGINAL source of information and follow its path to today rather than rely on the reconstituted, misinformed, and very lazy opinion of "pundits" who speak on the basis of a blending between their personal emotion and half-truths. This book is espcially complete in its information from the Ottoman period forward. It's the closest thing to "science" I've ever read on the matter.
