One State, Two States

"Gloomy, concise, and spot-on."-Commentary

"I urge you, in the strongest terms, to read One State, Two States. . . I very much hope that it will ignite a freer, more honest, radically different conversation on the left, one informed by historical knowledge and current realities rather than the fantasies-alternately sentimental, infantile and grandiose-for which such a high price has been paid by all sides."-Susie Linfield, TruthDig.com

"Morris is one of the most authoritative historians of the Israeli-Arab conflict. In his new book, he presents and up-to-date interpretation and suggestions for its solution."-Walter Laqueur

"What is so striking about Morris's work as a historian is that it does not flatter anyone's prejudices, least of all his own."-David Remnick, New Yorker

"Morris details the various proposals for a 'one-state' or 'two-state' solution to the conflict that should have followed the UN General Assembly division of the territory and termination of the [British Mandate]. In a final chapter, he considers correctly that neither solution is practical or realistic. The best option, he feels, would be a West Bank-Gaza-Jordan confederation with Israel. . . .
