"In The Path to Mass Rebellion Ruth Margolies Beitler investigates the form and structure of insurgent violence, taking the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as her case. Using historical, sociological, military, and policy data, she assembles a study of the Israeli government action during the Six-Day War and the first and second intifadas that is unparalleled in its detail. Writing within the framework of carefully organized disciplinary knowledge, Beitler produces a work that radically recontextualizes contemporary accounts of the conflict raging in the Middle East."--BOOK JACKET.
