Award-Winning Historian and International Relations Expert Explores the Palestine Dilemma

Robert John places the birth of Israel and the subsequent Arab/Israeli conflict in the context of international politics, world wars and terrorism in "The Palestine Diary."

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 23, 2006 -- In "The Palestine Diary, Vol. 1: Britain’s Involvement 1914-1945," and "Vol. 2: United States, United Nations Intervention 1945-1948, Third Edition," author Robert John has crafted the most detailed history available of the thorny Palestine problem.

When the Jewish state of Israel was formed, it quickly became a battleground between Jews who felt it was their right to be there and the displaced Palestinians who did not. How did the situation in Palestine become so dangerous and how and why did it lead to terrorism in the United States, Britain and Israel? American international relations expert Robert John, after investigating the history of this Middle East powder keg, offers some very concrete and provocative answers.

In this fascinating book, world leaders -- Arabs, Jews, Russians, British, Prime Ministers and popes -- give their opinions about Palestine. From the intrigue of World War I to the actual words delegates spoke at the UN, "The Palestine Diary" is fraught with shocking revelations. The author offers proof that there was an economic agreement concluded between the Third Reich and Jewish agencies. The Jewish state of Israel was forced on the Arab people, John states, even as a promise to the Arabs for Palestine to be an independent Arab state was denied. This is a problem that won’t go away, but a better understanding can perhaps lead to solution.

World historian Arnold Toynbee says of the book, “If the American people are willing to open their minds to the truth about Palestine, this book will help them to learn it and the situation in Palestine might quickly change for the better.”
