The Great War for Civilisation
By Robert Fisk
This is my personal favourite in the list. It is not strictly about Israel, but about the evolution of the whole Middle East crisis, covering Israel, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon and more. It is brilliantly written, fiercely object book that will shock you quite often, but is one of the leading journalistic works of our time, showing how the West ruined a region with its petty power plays.
