Arab and Jew by David Shipler is an account of a long and violent Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In his book, Shipler says that he's neither Arab nor Jewish which means he offers an objective view. He goes into great detail describing the prejudices on both sides: how the Arabs view Jews and how Jews view Arabs. Each page is filled with personal anecdotes that details his experiences of listening to both sides.
Arab and Jew was first published in 1987, but this edition has been revised to bring the reader up to speed with the developments that happened since the publication of the first edition. Now, Shipler's book is more relevant than ever before.
