Israel's independence in 1948 in the wake of the Holocaust was a triumph for the Zionist movement but a catastrophe \u003ci\u003e-\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003e'nakba'\u003c\/i\u003e in Arabic - for the native Palestinian majority.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eEnemies and Neighbours,\u003c\/i\u003e Ian Black has written a gripping, lucid and timely account of what was doomed to be an irreconcilably hostile relationship from the beginning. It traces how, half a century after the watershed of the 1967 war, hopes for a two-state solution and an end to occupation have all but disappeared.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The author, a veteran \u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e journalist, draws on deep knowledge of the region and decades of his own reporting to create a uniquely vivid and valuable book.
