Editorial Reviews

Israeli (Islamic and Middle Eastern history, Hebrew University) describes the development, history, and collapse of the twenty-year Armistice Regime. Covering both the internal politics of the divided city, and the international implications of the conflict (especially in the United Nations), he describes the tensions inherent in the arrangement, the dysfunctional aspects of the Armistice Commission, and the lessons the historical episode offers for the current conflict.
