Book Summary

This book is an examination of why so many people, particularly on the political left, have focused on the Bosnian civil war and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and why they frequently have regarded those two events as ones of unmistakable right and wrong, with the Serbs and the Jews being cast as the villains. The numerous reasons explaining the left's approach to Bosnia and Palestine are scattered throughout the works of many writers, and there was a need to assemble and analyze the left's motives in one book. This book will show that the left's view of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict owes a considerable amount to the left's earlier interpretation of the Bosnian civil war, and this connection has not been sufficiently addressed elsewhere.

The book was published in January 2012.
