This article involves two subjects, each of which in itself would justify its retention:
1) It is a book about the Arab-Israeli Conflict, which in its time was a best seller in bith the US and Israel and aroused considerable interest and debate as part of the debate on the subject both between Israelis and outsiders and among Israelis themselves - and as the reference to the recent Makor Rishon article shows, might have this role again in present-day Israel.
2) It is a very detailed book of alternate history, depicting the numerous consequnces of a how history might have gone differently. There are many Wikipedia pages devoted to such books, and this one is no less notable.
3) The book was written jointly by three writers, two of whom have their own Wikipedia pages.
The third paragraph in the Synopsis page appears to primarily contain speculation about the author's biases. Specifically: the first sentence contains claims without sources, and the second sentence ("This aim is evident in the book's ...") appears predicated on the editor's particular opinion as to how this alternate history scenario would occur.
I considered removing the first sentence altogether and editing the second to state the following: "The book contained numerous depictions of ...", but as I am a new editor I wanted to draw attention to the issue first. Lord Daemonar (talk) 19:17, 3 March 2018 (EST)
