Book Reviews of The Case for Israel
Book Review: If you want to be informed, read this.
Summary: 5 Stars
Mr Dershowitz's book is a most succinct and well argued "proactive defence" of Israel's right to exist. His book is set out with clear chapters, each addressing single issues such as "Why have more Palestinians that Israelis been killed?" or "Did Israel create the Arab Refugee Problem?". Each of these chapters is started with examples of quotes from the accusers: these are followed by a carefully crafted, well researched and concise argument to disprove each accusation.The clarity of thought behind these arguments is easy to understand and only displays the mark of a lawyer in the way each point is carefully baked with evidence. It is an easy read and not at all "legalese".
The fact that Israel needs a defence of its right to exist is interesting in itself but, having read many, many books on this subject, I found this one to be a very clear summation of the issues. I would recommend it to anyone who feels they may not be getting the full story from contemporary news sources, especially in the UK.
