Stephen P. Cohen (1936–2019)

Quite a bit of the work is balanced, sensitive, and straight forward. Occasionally, though, he does lapse into the if only people would talk everything would work out fine mentality. Jews and Palestinians are not going to sit at a table and work things out despite the best of intentions. He does review numerous countries with the attempt to survey the salient features of the countries examined. Cohen's vast travels also helps create an understanding that he knows most of the region from first-hand experience.
