　　At a time when a lasting peace between the Palestinians and

the Israelis seems virtually unattainable, understanding the roots

of their conflict is an essential step in restoring hope to the

region. In The Iron Cage, Rashid Khalidi, one of the most respected

historians and political observers of the Middle East, homes in on

Palestinian politics and history. By drawing on a wealth of

experience and scholarship, Khalidi provides a lucid context for

the realities on the ground today, a context that has been, until

now, notably lacking in our discourse.

The story of the Palestinian search to establish a state begins

in the mandate period immediately following the breakup of the

Ottoman Empire, the era of British control, when fledgling Arab

states were established by the colonial powers with assurances of

eventual independence. Mandatory Palestine was a place of real

promise, with unusually high literacy rates and a relatively

advanced economy. But the British had already begun to construct an

iron cage to hem in the Palestinians, and the Palestinian

leadership made a series of errors that would eventually prove

crippling to their dream of independence.

The Palestinians' struggle intensified in the stretch before and

after World War II, when colonial control of the region became

increasingly unpopular, population shifts began with heavy Jewish

immigration from Eastern Europe, and power began to devolve to the

United States. In this crucial period, Palestinian leaders

continued to run up against the walls of the ever-constricting iron

cage. They proved unable to achieve their long-cherished goal of

establishing an independent state—a critical failure that set a

course for the decades that followed, right through the eras of the

Palestinian Liberation Organization, the Palestinian Authority, and

Hamas. Rashid Khalidi's engrossing narrative of this torturous

history offers much-needed perspective for anyone concerned about

peace in the Middle East.
