A new and provocative reassessment of the origins of the Arab-Israeli conflict. In late summer 1929, a countrywide outbreak of Arab-Jewish-British violence transformed the political landscape of Palestine forever. In contrast with those who point to the wars of 1948 and 1967, historian Hillel Cohen marks these bloody events as year of the Arab-Israeli conflict that persists today.
