Hello All

 

I just received an Amazon.com notification of a new book called

 

Fabricating Israeli History, The New Historians.  By Efraim Karsh.

 

I note that the majority of his work concerns modern Israel and so am wondering if any of you are familiar with the book and what perspective it takes, i.e. is it for or against the latest 'minimalist' trends or is it about something different altogether.

 

I have the feeling that it may be a response against Keith Whitelams book 'The invention of Ancient Israel' , which in many ways deals with the origin of modern Israel, but this is only a guess, as I haven't a clue as to its content.

 

best regards
