Frank, Mitch
Understanding the Holy Land: Answering Questions about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
(2)
4-6
Using a question-and-answer format, Frank organizes topics first by presenting an overview of the conflict and then, chronologically, moving from the birth of Judaism through the unification of the Arabs to modern events, concluding in the spring of 2004. The dense, dispassionate narrative reduces the volatility of the subject, and equal time is given to both points of view. Maps, timeline. Bib., glos., ind.

While it is difficult for a book to provide a comprehensive account of an ongoing global crisis, Frank does a good job of setting and justifying parameters for his outline of the political and religious contexts that shaped the events of September 11th and the repercussions. Of particular value is the discussion of Islamic fundamentalism, which includes more detail than other books for young people on the subject. Bib., glos., ind.
