Genesis: Truman, American Jews, and the Origins of the Arab/Israeli Conflict
by John B. Judis - History, Nonfiction

There has been more than half a century of raging conflict between Jews and Arabs --- a violent, costly struggle that has had catastrophic repercussions in a critical region of the world. In GENESIS, John B. Judis argues that, while Israelis and Palestinians must shoulder much of the blame, the United States has been the principal power outside the region since the end of World War II and as such must account for its repeated failed efforts to resolve this enduring strife.
