Originally published in 1991, the author, Guy N. Woods, methodically presents the details of this age-long tragedy in the Bible lands by noting the biblical origins of the peoples involved, examines those events in their subsequent histories essential to the understanding of present-day developments, considers the claims to the land the Arabs and Jews allege, and includes political, geographical, and social details contributing to an understanding of the ongoing problems in the Middle East.
