Palestine between Storm and Strife

This volume offers a comprehensive historical, political, and analytical account of the Palestinian question, spanning from the critical years preceding the 1948 Nakba to the contemporary period.

Covering nearly eight decades, the book examines the intersecting dynamics of colonialism, settler-colonial expansion, Arab regional politics, international intervention, and Palestinian resistance. Drawing on a wide range of archival materials, memoirs, internal Arab League documents, Zionist strategic writings, and extensive primary and secondary sources, the study advances the argument that the Palestinian tragedy its origins, evolution, and persistence can only be fully understood through an examination of structural deficiencies in Arab coordination, the geopolitical manoeuvring of global powers, and the long-term strategic planning of the Zionist movement.

Palestine between Storm and Strife will be of particular interest to scholars and graduate students in Middle Eastern studies, history, and international relations.
