Description:
From the brink of nuclear confrontation in the October 1973 Middle East war to the outbreak of peace four years later, Kenneth A. Stein traces American involvement in the Arab-Israeli negotiations. He provides an extraordinary range of first-hand accounts, recollections and anecdotes from over eighty participants in the Arab-Israeli peace talks from 1973 to 1978, including heads of state, diplomats, bureaucrats and military leaders.
Expand description
Since the official public record remains unavailable for reasons of national security, these interviews provide unequaled insight into the diplomatic process. Recollections about personal successes and failures, along with accounts of critical meetings, reveal the internal divisions, political intrigue and untold stories of the peace talks. Charting the complex and often contradictory goals of Egypt, Israel, Jordan, the US and the USSR, Stein chronicles the evolution of these negotiations and analyzes the key players. An introduction and epilogue place this period in the context of Arab-Israeli history since 1948 and the current situation in the Middle East.
