Classroom role-playing simulations bring the drama of politics to life and enrich

traditional learning by plunging students into the midst of historical or current

events. Ben-Yehuda gives students and instructors the resources and confidence

to embark on a careful enactment of scenarios that will inspire enthusiasm in

participants and stick in the memory long after the curtain falls. The book includes

in-depth discussions of three possible theatrical simulations: appeasement in

1938 Munich, the regional turmoil following the 1947 UN Palestine Partition

decision, and the Syrian civil war and ongoing global confrontation with ISIS. It

is appropriate for students in global studies courses at all levels.
