A new edition of this acclaimed history of Arabs and Jews in Jaffa, with a major new afterword.
I found it irresistibly engaging when it first appeared and equally readable a decade later ... LeBor deftly interweaves [the families'] life stories within the wider context of Middle East politics. He is judiciously balanced in his conclusions, as befits an experienced foreign correspondent. His book grows even more relevant with time' Jewish Chronicle.
