Understanding the Holy Land

Understanding the Holy Land
By Mitch Frank
Viking, 2005. 152 pgs. Young Adult Nonfiction

Mitch Frank provides an introduction to the conflict in the Holy Land, discussing who Palestinians and Israelis are and what the opposing groups want to gain from their continuing conflict, as well as the history of the two groups and the Holy Land itself.

This is a very straightforward, easy-to-understand guide to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A timeline, glossary and index make this a very useful resource for students or a nice overview for adults who want to brush up on world events.
