Buchvorstellung: Benny Morris: »1948. Der erste arabisch-israelische Krieg«
In the organizer's words:
Book launch with the editor Andreas Stahl and the publisher Dr. Nora Pester
In his monograph "1948: The First Arab-Israeli War", Benny Morris sheds light on the background and events that led to the end of the British Mandate in Palestine, the fragmentation of Arab-Palestinian society and ultimately to the birth of the State of Israel. The focus is on the immediate reaction to the founding of the state: the pan-Arab war of aggression. Morris' meticulous analysis of the Israeli and international archives, which have been accessible since the 1980s, provides a clear, documentary view of the often mythologized history of the 1948 war and its political and military actors. This book, which is being published in German for the first time, provides much-needed historical clarification to counter the debates about Israel and Palestine, about Zionism and expulsion, which are often forgetful of history and full of resentment.
In cooperation with: German-Israeli Society, Gerhart-Hauptmann-Haus Foundation and Society for Christian-Jewish Cooperation Düsseldorf
