Jerusalem is a sacred city for three of the world's greatest religions ~ Islam, Judaism and Christianity ~ and as such it presents the serious problem of how the various religions' shrines are to be protected. At the same time, lying on the Israeli~Jordanian border, it is geographically destined to be caught up in the ongoing Arab~Israeli struggle. The Jerusalem Question; by Eugene Bovis, who for many years was a Foreign Service Officer in the Middle East, addresses just these questions. Bevis points out that there are two basic problems in Jerusalem~control of the city and control of the religious shrines. Until the fall of the Ottoman Empire in World War I, Jerusalem had been controlled by Islam for 700 years, and so political control was not a serious question. After 1917, however, the Jerusalem question became deeply immeshed in the ongoing struggle for the control of Palestine. Countless schemes for governing the city ~ internationalizing it, setting up a condominium of Jordan and Israel, and establishing a borough system, to name the major categories~have been suggested, but the problem remains as intractable as ever. Protection of religious shrines is probably an even more critical problem, since it affects beliefs held by hundreds of millions of people who have never set foot in the Middle East. In fact, during the 700 years of Ottoman political control of Jerusalem, the Western nations vied with each other for the right to be protector of the Christian shrines. Innumerable plans proposed during the past half century to protect the shrines and parcel out political control of the city are traced in detail by the author. The book concludes with a presentation of a half dozen possible options that could be taken today. H. Eugene Bovis has been a Foreign Service Officer since 1952, serving in Lebanon, Israel, and Egypt, as well as Washington D.C. He received a Ph.D. from American University, Washington, D.C., and has traveled widely in Europe and the Middle East.
