Pale of Settlement

A Note on Sources

In this work of fiction, I have drawn on and transformed a range of factual materials in an effort to render the historical, political, and intellectual context of these stories as accurately as possible. For thehistoryofthefoundingofthestateofIsraelandtheArab-Israeli conflict, I relied on many sources, notably The Birth of the PalestinianRefugeeProblem ,1947–1949byBennyMorrisandArabandJewby DavidShipler.Forinformationonbiblicalarcheology,Idepended onTheBibleUnearthed byIsraelFinkelsteinandNeilAsherSilberman ,HazorbyYigaelYadin,articlesabouttheHazorexcavationsby AmnonBen-TorandMaria-TeresaRubiatointheBiblicalArchaeology Review, and the series of excavation reports on Hazor by Yigael Yadin, Amnon Ben-Tor, and others. Also essential was coverage of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in Ha’aretz, Commentary, the New York Times, the New York Daily News, and elsewhere.
