    Description

    The war of 1948 in Palestine is a conflict whose history has been written primarily from the national point of view. This book asks what happens when narratives of war arise out of personal stories of those who were involved, stories that are still unfolding. Efrat Ben-Ze'ev examines the memories of those who participated and were affected by the events of 1948, and how these events have been mythologized over time. This is a three-way conversation between Palestinian villagers, Jewish-Israeli veterans, and British policemen who were stationed in Palestine on the eve of the war. Each has his or her story to tell. These small-scale truths shed new light on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, as it was then and as it has become.

    • An alternative perspective of one of the most significant events of the twentieth century covering 1948 and the lead up to Israel's foundation
    • An important contribution to the study of the memory of cataclysmic events and how these events become mythologized
    • For students in social anthropology, Middle East history and warfare
