Summary: A Study-group Must
Comment: Holy Land Whose Land? Modern Dilemma Ancient Roots is the perfect reference for a study-discussion group wishing to research the background of today's continuing horror headlines coming out of the Middle east. D.Drummond gives a detailed view of the present situation, then takes the reader through the history of this land called home by three monotheistic religions, finally dealing with possible approaches to peace. A detailed glossary, maps, and photographs--as well as firsthand observations are a welcome addition to this very readable, balanced study.
With so many folks convinced that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict directly affects the war on terrorism, D.Drummond's book definitely enlightens us.

Summary: a useful primer
Comment: Where exactly is the Holy Land, who owns it & why has there been conflict over it since the beginning of time?

Dorothy Drummond sets out to enlighten us with a broad overview of this eternal conflict.

This is for those who are perplexed about the Middle East, who the people are, & what religions have influenced them. Both the recent history since the birth of Modern Israel & the ancient history have been researched.

An accessible, readable, no-frills tour through the land & its history, out of which three monotheistic religions arose.

Summary: Too Simple for the Issues
Comment: The author tries very hard to present the issues for beginners. However, she has made too many trade-offs, sacrificing accuracy for brevity in many places. The issue comes off as one-sided and simplistic, when in reality it is one of the most complex in international politics today. A good effort, but ultimately, a failed one.
