Reddit reviews Side by Side: Parallel Histories of Israel-Palestine

I am by no means an expert, but in college we read Side by Side, written by a group of Israeli and Palestinian teachers in 2000.

The book has a really unique structure-- all of the pages on the left (imagine you're looking at an open book) present history from an Israeli perspective, and all the pages on the right present history from a Palestinian perspective.

Apologies if some don't consider it objective, I know how sensitive this issue is. At the very least, it's an interesting and unique literary exercise.

Side by Side: Parallel Histories of Israel-Palestine

I think this book does a great job of preventing both perspectives. Hope this helps :)

Here's a good one -https://www.amazon.com/Side-Parallel-Histories-Israel-Palestine/dp/1595586830

A Israeli and Palestinian historian go, chapter by chapter, through the history of the conflict, with each historian writing his side's perspective.

This book gives a good parallel primary on Israeli and Palestinian histories. It's really telling what each history omits. Both of them tell the truth. Just different truths and different sins of omission.

Won't get you much about Egypt, but it's probably necessary context.
