Having read several of the books by Dr. Price, I looked forward to a well written book with ample research behind it. I was not disappointed. Dr. Price goes into depth just why America is involved deeply in this struggle. Considerable attention is then given to the key concepts behind the Jewish versus Islamic confrontation. The information given is current, and relevant to the religious yet radical confrontation we witness daily.

While written from a Judeo-Christian point of view, the intended audience is clearly non-religious in nature.

Highly recommend that you not only read this book, but that you keep it as a reference work.

Seldom has a book been more relevant and more timely.

With the ongoing `war against terrorism', the current climate in the political and international arenas, and the unrest in the Middle East, the author delves into the myths surrounding the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and sifts through the Islamic propaganda and media bias against the Jewish state.

With his exceptional expertise, the learned author approaches the whole scenario from a Biblical basis and analyses the entire issue, past, present and future, with alarming insight. We all owe it to ourselves to read this book and to be completely aware as to what is happening around us at this crucial time in history. The contents of this book will open our eyes and enlighten us to the wholesale deception that is presently surrounding us. We need to know the truth about Islamic fundamentalism, it's real agenda, the Middle East crisis and the facts concerning the Israeli-Palestinian issue and how it affects the rest of the world, ourselves included.

This book is full of such facts from cover to cover and is very easy to read.

I also seriously recommend two other books by the same author entitled, `Jerusalem In Prophecy' and `The Coming Last Days Temple'.

This is an outstanding book. Extremely well written, it conveys depths of information quickly, and is a very fast read. Most striking of all, however, is that the angle taken is often directly contrary to the slant that large parts of the American news media give. Due to this fact, this is one of those items that really belongs in the hands of students who are researching Mideast issues. A perspective very different from traditional news sources is given. A very valuable book when place alongside materials of a different perspective. More items like this are needed to help make sense of Mideast politics.

"call for destruction" !? Did the last reviewer read the entire book, or understand most of it?

Anyway, this is a detailed look into the history and people involved in the Middle Eastern conflict(s). A very good way to get "behind the headlines."

Price uses Palestinian, as well as Christian and Jewish sources, to back his view of the conflict in the Middle East. I thought he did a good job of representing both sides. He is more slanted towards the Christian view, but I would expect that from a Christian. Yet he used Palestinian and Islamic sources to support what he has to say about their viewpoint and beliefs. He helped me to understand much more of what is going on in the Middle East, and even here with the Sept. 11th destruction of the WTC. I recommend this book whether you know a lot or nothing at all about the conflict. It brings it together in an interesting and clarifying way. He asks questions, such as "Why can't they just get along?" and then he answers the questions using quotes and thoughts from various sources. With all that is going on in the world today, I agree with him that we need to familiarize ourselves with the situation in the Middle East and I think that this book is a good place to start.

This book by Randall Price along with another book by him called The Temple and Bible Prophecy are two of the most important books that deal with Israel and the fulfillment of the Jewish fate in Bible prophecy. Two other books that you might like are by Keith Intrater entitled Israel, The Church, and the Last Days along with From Irag to Armageddon. Why are these books so important? Simply this, we as Christians, even those of us who trust in Bible prophecy, have placed aside many a times the importance of Abraham and his descendants when it deals with Yahweh's plan for the world. It is vital that we understand Israel and the Jews because without understanding these topics, we fail in our call to follow in the footsteps of our Lord and Savior Yeshua/Jesus Christ.

Just as in days of old, throughout the Old Testament time period and now in the New Testament era, the last days, beginning with the resurrection and culminating in the seven years of tribulation along with the Millennial Kingdom and then the New Heavens and the New Earth, Israel and her people have been a vital foci for prophecy and fate of the world. And just as those who are giving this a one star because it shows the truth as to what is going on in Israel and Israel's threat from all sides by radical Islam, there are many people out there who are anti-Semitic and want to see the Jewish people wiped off the face of the earth. We as Christians SHOULD be praying and loving and caring for the Jewish people. Remember! Yahweh curses those who curse Abraham and his descendants just as much as Yahweh will bless those who bless Abraham and his descendants.

This book in particular, I will admit, is somewhat dated, as a lot has gone on since its publishing in 2001/2. The Israel nation faces even graver threats now than she did around 9-11. This book helps you the reader to realize just how horrific the world is growing toward the Jews. Radical Islam does not just want to gain power over Israel, and in particular Jerusalem. No. What they want is simply this. To wipe the Jewish people off the face of the earth. Radical Islam does not want peace. Radical Islam will not settle for anything less than total destruction of the Jewish people. This is not an opinion, this is reality. Not that the Jewish people are perfect, no, no one is, and yes the Jewish authorities have done some damage and there have been kills that should not have been. But. But. The Israelites are fighting for their very existence, not just for simple territory. The Israelites are fighting for their very dignity, not just some ideology.

I firmly believe this book will open your eyes if you haven't already (like the one stars show) decided to be anti-Semitic. We as Gentile Christians who have been saved by the blood of Yeshua, Jesus, have a specific Biblical call to love and to feed and to clothe and to care for Yahweh's covenant people that we have (through Yeshua) been grafted unto. Read this book, learn the truth.

This book definitely transcends the propaganda that completely permeates the Islamic world in the Middle East. Randall Price delves into the true attitudes of Palestinians and exposes the real intentions behind them that is missed in the media. Price uses a wealth of evidence and quotes to back up his statements. It also focuses on the control of the Temple Mount and how Jews want back from the Muslims what is rightfully their's. Unholy War may cause bitterness, but sometimes the truth hurts. A must read!

If you aren't quite sure of the whys and wherefores of the complex relationship between Americans, Israelis, and the radical sect of Islam, this is an excellent book for you. Randall Price's knowledge of the history and relationship between these three is astonishing. The book is very in-depth and chock full of details and gives the reader insightful explanations for much of what we are seeing in the news today. Price gives us a diplomat's "bird's eye view" of the very complex and volatile relationships. He also does a great job putting the pieces of the puzzle together for us.

I see a few other reviewers saying that this book doesn't tell the "other side of the story." Well, that other side is presented to us daily in the media. THIS is the side we've been missing out on. An awesome book that gave me a better understanding of the conflict -- and, oddly, more peace about it. The author provides extensive documentation (much of it directly from Arab sources) and presents his arguments clearly.

Seeing the media is so lax with the facts of the Middle East conflict you need a good resource to fill in the blanks. This book covers almost all the bases including: The Israel Factor--Key to the Present Conflict; With Whom or What Are We at War?; How Does the Issue Regarding Jerusalem Fit in this War?; What About the Plight of the Palestinians?; What Is the Purpose of the Intifada?; How Did the Middle East Conflict Begin?; Who Are The Palestinians?; Do Palestinians Have a Right to the Land Through Abraham? These questions are answered in just the first half of the book! One of the more eye-opening features running throughout are quotes attributed to different world leaders that show exactly how they feel about Israel and how some of them have redefined "Palestine" to suit their own agendas.

Easy writing style, compact size, very reasonably priced. Just a wee bit on the negative side: a bit repetitious and I would've liked to have seen a section explaining all the places Arafat has been thrown out of to show the hypocrisy of those nations who are now trying to force Israel to negotiate with someone they couldn't stand to have in their own backyards because he was too hard to handle. Even though Israel has lately taken the stance that Arafat is irrelevant, the rest of the world does not see him that way and to get an overall picture of what is going on over there a little background info on the man would be helpful. -- Moza
