Overview
From Abraham to Arafat, the Holy Land has long been a cauldron of conflict. "Holy Land, Whose Land? Modern Dilemma, Ancient Roots" investigates the complex political and philosophical choices that have perpetuated the incessant rivalry between Israel and the surrounding Arab states. Holy Land, Whose Land? examines how this region, sacred to three of the world's monotheistic religions, struggles with the continual intrusion of the past upon the present.
Lee Hamilton, Director of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, writes, "Drummond traces the complex history of the Holy Land over four millennia in an intelligent and accessible style. Her solid research and thoughtful personal reflections underscore that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can only be resolved through the arduous, step-by-step search for peace."
Holy Land, Whose Land? is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the complicated story-both sacred and profane-of this unique, beautiful, and tortured land.
