This is a perfect coffee table history book. The times of Arab-Israel crisis is discussed from various sources known at that point in time. More than book it has been made to represent in a journalistic style where the history is depicted as in a first person account. The good part is you can always understand the text easily and bad part is you never feel like reading a real history book. The 2004-06 section in the book is not quite an important read. It's more like what happened to various people and places described in the book when the author was doing research.
Overall, a good read but in the end of it you still will not get a real understanding of the history per se. But you will definitely enjoy reading the book like a novel.
