To those who are familiar with the Arab-Israeli conflict, this in-depth case study of Jerusalem serves as a comprehensive compilation of important source materials. To those less familiar with the conflict, the book provides a wealth of political and historical accounts, humanized by the series of personal testimonies and narratives. The Open Veins of Jerusalem is strongly recommended for anyone who wishes to enhance his/her understanding of why 'Jerusalem' is such an issue of controversy in today's world of politics. - MESA Bulletin
