Educated at Berkeley and Harvard, he taught at colleges and universities. He lives in Providence, RI and travels in Europe and the Middle East to research his books. From Wikipedia: "Aaron Aaronsohn (1876-15 May 1919) was a Romanian Jewish agronomist, botanist, and Zionist activist. After studying agriculture in France, Aaronsohn botanically mapped Palestine and its surroundings and became a leading expert on the subject. Aaronsohn served as a scientific consultant to Djemal Pasha during a locust invasion in 1915. Aaronsohn and the team was given permission to move around the area known as Southern Syria (including modern day Israel) and made detailed maps of the areas they surveyed. They collected strategic information about Ottoman camps and troop deployment. Aaronsohn worked on the Versailles Peace Conference. On 15 May 1919, Aaronsohn was killed in an airplane crash.
Synopsis
The rivalry that presaged the world?s most tenacious conflict As the Arab -Israeli conflict continues to plague the Middle East, historian Ronald Florence offers extraordinary new insights on its origins. This is the story of T. E. Lawrence, the young British officer who became famous around the world as Lawrence of Arabia, Aaron Aaronsohn, an agronomist from Palestine, and the antagonism that divided them over the fate of the dying Ottoman Empire during World War I?a clash of visions that set Arab nationalism and Zionism on a direct collision course that reverberates to this day.
