Book recommendations about the history of the land now known as Israel & Palestine.

by lordegy53

I'm interested to learn about the history of the region from the Canaan to the Ottoman Empire, and I really think it's a cool, messy and complicated part of history with a lot powers changing hands through the years. I tried searching for sources but it's hard with the current conflict, everything I stumbled upon was opinionated.

So if you can recommend me Book/s covering that area and time that are not politically or religiously motivated, I'd be very thankful.

Mario Liverani's, Israel's History and the History of Israel, covers the history of the Land of Israel from Canaanite beginnings to the Second Temple and situates its within the broader Ancient Near East context. This book is also on the AskHistorians recommended list.
