Listened to the audio. I have no idea of the background of the author, but decidedly he had not much complimentary to say about the Israeli's in the historical conflict.

The storey is well narrated and gives a fairly extensive perspective on the collective decisions that were made over a great span by many political power of the region and I single out primarily the British with there initial oversight,

Apart from quoting haters like David Duke, Farrakhan, Sizer, etc. it really can't get much worse -- just enough smattering about of truths to cover up the stink with an appearance of legitimacy.… (more)
