Nil by Mouth

I have been trying to

I have been trying to find a book on the history of the Israeli Palestinian conflict for the past few days and have been getting really disheartened. There are no books listed on amazon that aren’t called biased by an angry someone.

I figured i’d have to put myself down for two books then.

One deemed a damn lie by Jews, and one deemed a damn lie by Palestinians. I definitely don’t know enough about the history of the region to be able to have a defensible opinion, but the thing is, i don’t believe *anyone* who talks, reports, writes, pontificates, or anything else on it. I can’t help but be suspicious of all them and their motives. So it’s hard to decide where to start. I mostly went for the ones’ whose writing samples didn’t put me to sleep. I don’t read too much book length non-fiction these days, so i need to be charmed back into the genre.
