Palestine 1936: The Great Revolt and the Roots of the Middle East Conflict
Partition was first proposed during the 1936 revolt, the Palestinian leadership was broken, and the Haganah learned to fight. The shape was set before 1948.
Kessler argues that the shape of the conflict was set a decade before 1948. The Arab Revolt of 1936 to 1939 is where partition was first proposed, where the Palestinian leadership was broken, and where the Haganah learned to fight. The current arguments turn out to have very deep roots, and so does the absence of trust.

A good look at the festering problems in place before 1948. Among other things, it shows how many of the current arguments and debates have very deep roots, and just how far back the lack of trust goes.
