An update of Stanley Ellisen's 1991 best-selling book examining Middle East history from a biblical perspective. In addition to offering perspective on recent events, Who Owns the Land? traces the journey of the Jewish people through history and explains the events that have led to their determined stand in Palestine today. Describes the numerous Jewish migrations and expulsions, the emergence of Zionism, World War II and the Holocaust, and a biblical view of the Jews' promised restoration.

Personal take:
A very good summary of the Arab/Israeli Conflict in the Middle East. Am fascinated by the account of long history of the fighting over the "Promised Land", as well as the Diaspora of both the Jewish and the Palestinian nations. The book also lends an unbiased Biblical viewpoint about both nations' claims to this land. A must-read for all who wants to know who owes the land...*
*Trick question :p
