<P>This book offers a gripping, profoundly human, even-handed narrative of the origins of the Middle East conflict, with resonance and relevance for our time. In spring 1936, the Holy Land erupted in a rebellion that targeted both the local Jewish community and the British Mandate authorities that for decades had midwifed the Zionist project. The Great Arab Revolt lasted three years, cost thousands of lives on all sides, and cast the trajectory for the Middle East conflict. Palestinian identity coalesced around the revolt, uniting rivals in a single struggle for independence. Yet the rebellion ultimately turned on itself, shredding the social fabric, sidelining pragmatists in favor of extremists, and propelling refugees from their homes. British counterinsurgency finally quashed the uprising on the eve of World War II. The revolt to end Zionism had crushed the Arabs, leaving them crippled against the Jews' drive for statehood a decade later. The Jews were left a very different legacy. Zionist leaders began to abandon illusions of Arab acquiescence, facing the prospect that fulfilling the dream of sovereignty might mean fighting forever. Britain trained and armed thousands of Jews, creating the seed of a formidable Jewish army. This is the story of two national movements and their first sustained confrontation. Today, the legacy endures. Hamas's armed wing and rockets carry the name of the fighter-preacher whose death sparked the 1936 rebellion. When Israel builds security barriers, sets up checkpoints, or razes homes, it is evoking laws and methods from its British predecessor. And when Washington promotes a <Q>two-state solution, </Q> it is invoking a plan with the same roots. Based on archival research on three continents and in three languages, this is the origin story of the world's most intractable conflict, and it reveals world-changing events through extraordinary individuals on all sides: their loves, hates, deepest fears, and profoundest hopes.</P>
