Biography
Kirsten E. Schulze is Associate Professor in International History at the London School of Economics. Her recent publications include The International History of the Twentieth Century and Beyond (2014, 3rd edition, co-authored with Antony Best, Jussi Hanhimäki and Joseph A. Maiolo) and The Jews of Lebanon: Between Coexistence and Conflict (2008, 2nd edition), as well as articles on Israeli–Lebanese relations in the 1950s, Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon and the al-Aqsa Intifada.
"Kirsten Schulze has produced a comprehensive and concise account that is highly recommended. The Arab-Israeli Conflict provides a sweeping overview from the origins of Zionism and Arab nationalism to Israel’s 2014 invasion of Gaza and the stalled peace process. Written in an engaging and accessible style with maps, key documents, and a glossary of terms, it is an ideal text for introductory and advanced undergraduate courses."

"Complete with appropriately selected documents, maps, a chronology and a handy who’s who guide, Kirsten Schulze has delivered a comprehensive yet precise, balanced and digestible guide to the history of the Arab-Israeli Conflict from the rise of Zionism to the rise and fall of the peace process as well as more recent conflagrations. Essential reading for students of history, politics, Middle Eastern Studies and conflict resolution."
