Trouble with Peace: A History of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (at Amica and UVic)

When Gaza orchestrated its Great March of Return in 2018 we were reminded that 70 years after its inception the State of Israel still does not have peace with its neighbours, and the Palestinians still do not have an independent country, even though there have been strenuous efforts in recent years to find solutions to this vexing problem.
