Considerably expanded to include the impact of the 2003 war in
Iraq and its aftermath, this new edition of "Waging Peace" provides
a unique insight into the critical debate on the future of peace in
the Middle East. A former chief negotiator for Israel, noted
scholar-diplomat Itamar Rabinovich examines the complete history of
Arab-Israeli relations beginning in 1948. He then gives a vivid
account of the peace processes of 1992-1996 and the more
dispiriting record since then. His updated analysis on Iraq, Ehud
Barak, and Ariel Sharon--and on the expanding role of the United
States in the Middle East--sheds new light on the long and
tumultuous history between Arabs and Jews.
As Rabinovich brings the conflict into this century, he widens
the scope of his proposals for achieving normalized and peaceful
Arab-Israeli relations. While he considers the conflict between
Israel and the Palestinians--a classic dispute between two national
movements claiming the same land--Rabinovich also studies the
broader political, cultural, and increasingly religious conflict
between Israel and Arab nationalism and discusses the region in an
international context.
Rabinovich's firsthand experiences as a negotiator and an
ambassador provide an extraordinary perspective on the major
players involved. The result is a shrewd assessment of the past and
current state of affairs, as well as a hopeful look at the
possibilities for a peaceful future.
