I couldn't finish reading before I had to return to the library. This book is hard to find and not really worth finding from what I could tell. The lit review was really good and I had no idea there is so much work on water issues, but the analysis amounts to: Israelis control water resources = Palestinians lack access to water resources. Perhaps I didn't read far enough to get the complexities of the crisis... I hope so, otherwise what a waste of energy. I couldn't finish reading before I had to return to the library.

The topic is very interesting but the perspective is biased from the very beginning, therefore it doesn't bring any contribution to scientific knowledge.
