The City of Abraham: History, Myth and Memory: A Journey through Hebron by Edward Platt |
The politics of the Israel-Palestine conflict are fraught and divisive. Here Edward Platt describes how he became fascinated by the city of Hebron, situated right in the middle of the argument; a city that like Jerusalem is at the centre of three world faiths: Judaism, Christianity and Islam since all claim descent from Abraham. I found it readable and bleak. But the history is fascinating.
