This doctrine, argues Avi Shlaim, became central to Israeli policy; dissenters were marginalized and many opportunities to reconcile with Palestinian Arabs were lost. Drawing on a great deal of new material and interviews with many key participants, Shlaim places Israel's political and military actions under and uncompromising lens. His analysis will bring scant comfort to partisans on both sides, but it will be required reading for anyone interested in this fascinating and troubled region of the world. 'The Iron Wall is strikingly fair-minded, scholarly, cogently reasoned and makes enthralling...reading' Philip Ziegler, Daily Telegraph 'Anyone wanting to understand the modern Middle East should start by reading this elegantly written and scrupulously researched book' Trevor Royle, Sunday Herald 'A milestone in modern scholarship of the Middle East' Edward Said 'Fascinating...Shlaim presents compelling evidence for a revaluation of traditional Israeli history' Ethan Bronner, The New York Times Book Review Avi Shlaim is Professor of International Relations at St. Antony's College, Oxford. His previous books include Collusion Across the Jordan (1988) and War and Peace in the Middle East (1995).

For much of the world, Netanyahu is a right-wing nationalist zealot; for many Israelis he is a centrist who is too soft on Arabs and backs down too easily in a fight. Love him or loathe him, Netanyahu has been at the very centre of Arab-Israeli politics since 1990, when he became the telegenic Israeli spokesman for CNN's coverage of the Persian Gulf War, arguably ushering in the Americanization of the Israeli media. Netanyahu is famous for his TV skills, but there is so much more to reveal - good and bad - about the man and his place in Israeli, Middle Eastern and world political history. At present there is no major profile of Netanyahu in the English language, so the publication of this book is a landmark of considerable importance, especially as in March 2015 he was re-elected for a further term in office. Using the juncture of the Oslo Accords to take the reader back to Netanyahu's formative years, Neill Lochery, a renowned scholar of Middle Eastern politics and history, chronicles not only the Prime Minister's life but also the issues his career has encompassed, from the rise of militant Islam to the politics of oil; from the transformation of Israeli politics by the 24/7 cable news cycle to the US's changing role in the Middle East.

 Marq de Villiers, whose family has been in South Africa for more than 300 years, has travelled to every corner of Africa in search of ancient empires which cut across modern national and traditional boundaries: Great Zimbabwe, at its height before the end of the Crusades; the Land of the Zanj, which the Arabs traded with for centuries before Europe had ever heard of it; the kings of the Kongo, who so impressed the Portuguese in the late 15 century; the Ashanti kingdoms; the ancient kingdom of Benin; the great empires of the Sahel. In his travels, Marq flies in an old plane piloted by an arms smuggler, travels downriver on a barge through some of the least explored jungles in Africa, hires an armed-to-the-teeth four-wheeler driven by a mercenary, and sails in a dhow manned by 4 Swahili teenagers - all through a landscape inhabited by villians and heroes, rascals and saints, and ordinary people.  He tells their stories of what it is like to live in this 'place of prodigies, of great amazements'.  Amplifying and giving context to these tales are the legends, folktales and histories collected by his co-author, Sheila Hirtle. Soft cover, fairly good condition.  The cover has a minor crease at the corner.  Pen inscription on the first page.  399 pages.

The Battle for Jerusalem explores the heart of Israel's current struggle, the history behind the antagonism between Arabs and Jews, and the powerful significance of the Temple Mount, a thirty-five acre parcel that is the most fiercely contested real estate on the planet. Hagee explains how this conflict is not merely political or economic, but is also spiritual, with the repercussions of their actions continuing to echo across the world. Most importantly, Hagee illustrates how all the players in this tortuous conflict fit into God's plan for the ages.

Hardcover: Rose's book takes the reader through quarter of a century of service with the Regiment. From Maryhill Barracks, Glasgow in early 1930's to Palestine where Arabs and Jews were fighting among themselves and against the British. Then there was action in Somaliland in the early past of the war, India and with the Chindits in Burma. Those were the days when the regiments fought hard and played hard too: none more than the "Forty-twa". The author is a born raconteur. Whether in his letters home or his reminiscences of the events and personalities. He knew when to be serious. When his Jocks were being unfairly treated, he could be a dragon to the Staff and his surprises. Contained in this book are references to his family and particularly his brothers. There are glimpses of the grand old life before The War and more recent times. No reader can fail to be amused, saddened, impressed and above all charmed by this book.
