内容説明・目次
内容説明
These two volumes provide a careful and balanced behind-the-scenes account of the intricate diplomatic activity of the period between the first and second Arab-Israeli wars. Exploiting a range of available archive sources as well as extensive secondary sources, they provide an authoritative analysis of the positions and strategies which the principal parties and the would-be mediators adopted in the elusive search for a stable peace. The author examines the recurring deadlocks in terms of the motives and calculations of the various parties, and reveals how new incentives of pressures offered by outsiders proved incapable of reversing the serious deterioration of Arab-Israeli relations as the region headed for war at Suez.
The text of each volume comprises both analytical-historical chapters and a selection of primary documents from archival sources.
目次
Foreign Affairs- "This is a fine and diplomatic history...a reliable reference for anyone needing to check fine points of the historical record."
Middle Eastern Studies - see file
Diplomacy- "Both volumes rest on an extensive collection of archival and other original source material. There is, additionally in each, a documents section following the narrative and a good supporting bibliography."
International History Review - "..extremely scholarly and profusely footnoted.."Caplan"s treatment of Lausanne and Alpha - for sheer thoroughness and detail - is unlikely to be surpassed, and his analysis is as objetive and non-partisan as most scholars would wish."
Jerusalem Post- "Neil Caplan teaches humanities at Vanier Colllege in Montreal. His work has been marked by exemplary research, mastery of the relevant primary and secondary sources, and ability to make a complicated story understandable."
Middle East Quarterly- " Caplan has built for himself an excellent reputation among historians of Arab-Israeli relations as a historian who reconstructs the scarlet thread- the principal and material chain of events- through careful scrutiny of archival and other historical sources."
MESA Bulletin- " Solidly based on documentary and other primary sources, objective and lucidly written, the book provides a cogent account of an intricate series of episodes, enhanced by penetrating analysis...Highly recommended
