The Inside Story Of The Fight For Middle East Peace.
'The Missing Peace' is the most candid inside account of the Middle East peace process ever written.
Dennis Ross, the chief Middle East peace negotiator in the presidential administrations of George H W Bush and Bill Clinton, is that rare figure who is respected by all parties - Democrats and Republicans, Palestinians and Israelis, presidents and people on the street in Jerusalem, Ramallah, and Washington, DC. Ross recounts the peace process in detail from 1988 to the breakdown of talks in early 2001 that prompted the so-called second Intifada - and takes account of recent developments in a new afterword written for this edition. It's all here: Camp David, Oslo, Geneva, Egypt, and other summits; the assassination of Yitzak Rabin; the rise and fall of Benjamin Netanyahu; the very different characters and strategies of Rabin, Yasir Arafat, and Bill Clinton; and the first steps of the Palestinian Authority.
