The author takes us on a different journey of the Israeli Palestinian conflict, focusing on each society's responses to the political and military events. It provides a very different perspective that gives the reader a better understanding of the obstacles to overcome in the search for the resolution of this conflict, one of the most intractable of the last 100 years.

The author manages to make the book relevant for readers with little knowledge of the conflict itself, as well as for those with a deeper knowledge and understanding of the issues. A must read for those who wish to understand the conflict in its sociological context.
