Trial and Error

Více o knize

The book examines the intricate relationship between Israel's military policies and its internal social dynamics, particularly focusing on the influence of a rising middle class of European Jews. It challenges the notion that military strategies were solely reactions to Arab hostility, suggesting instead that they were shaped by social interests and the resulting inequities within Israeli society. The author argues that the middle class's consumerist aspirations, alongside international constraints, significantly impacted Israel's approach to peace negotiations in the 1990s.
