"Still, the book pays justice to the volatility and complexity of Israeli politics, and is interesting reading for researchers and students of Middle Eastern Politics."



"....a comprehensive, very useful and vey informative examination of Israel"s domestic agenda, of the peace process and of the Jewish state"s relations with its neighbours". Jeremy Bowen, BBC Middle East Correspondent
