Professor Charles D. Smith's textbook (now in its 10th edition) has been the gold standard of university level textbook/General textbook on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. The 10th edition includes new material all the way up to mid-January of 2020. As with his previous editions, the book is filled with balanced, accurate information with each chapter ending with primary documents for the period. The information is sufficient for the reader to get a good sense of the issues. Readers interested in a more in-depth treatment of certain time periods and particular issues within the conflict can consult his notes and bibliography.
One important note to make is (and this is not the fault of the author but rather the editor and publisher) is on p. 477, the map for Camp David in 2000 is incorrect. The map shown is actually a darker photocopy of the Taba map of early 2001. I already contacted the author and he will notify the editor and publisher of the mistake. This is at least in my copy of the book. I was able to fix it by cutting the Camp David 2000 map from the 7th edition and pasted it on to the newer edition page.
