Crossing the Jordan : Israel's hard road to peace

"Now that the peace process has moved beyond its first, most delicate stages, Samuel Segev feels the time is right to reveal the inside, unbiased story of this remarkable journey. Beginning with the first tentative overtures to peace in Morocco in the early 1970s and ending with the martyrdom of Yitzhak Rabin, Segev reveals all the hidden details that made this journey possible. Segev, close to prominent Israelis and Arabs alike, has covered many of the meetings and conferences that shaped the peace process. A friend of both Arab and Israeli leaders, Segev tells of secret negotiations, back-channel bargaining, and initiatives that - had they come off - could have changed the world."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
