1948 by Benny Morris

This history of the foundational war in the Arab-Israeli conflict is groundbreaking, objective, and deeply revisionist. This book provides an account of the military engagements and also focuses on the war's political dimensions. It stresses on the jihadi character of the two-stage Arab assault on the Jewish community in Palestine.
