Professor Moshe Amirav, world expert on the conflict in Jerusalem,
presents previously unrevealed facts and creative solutions for
resolving the conflict. As a participant in political negotiations
and national decision making, his book addresses disturbing
questions: "How is it that after 40 years of Israeli efforts to
unify Jerusalem it is still one of the most divided cities in the
world?"; "Why is it that no country, including the US, has
recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel?"; "Why has Israel
failed in its efforts to curb the rapid growth of Jerusalem's
Palestinian population, an increase that will lead to a Palestinian
majority in Jerusalem in the next decade?" ... Israel's policies
have failed to "unite" Jerusalem. Israeli and Palestinian
strategies to gain control over East Jerusalem are analyzed, but
neither side has proved victorious, and the battle rages on locally
and internationally, with serious implications for stability in the
Middle East. The book provides a gripping account of the Camp David
negotiations in 2000 which failed in part due to disagreement about
sovereignty over Jerusalem's Holy Places. ... Interwoven in the
book is the stirring personal testimony of Moshe Amirav who, as a
young paratrooper, on the seventh of June 1967, was wounded in the
battle for Jerusalem. For him, the battle did not end when victory
was proclaimed by Israel. It had just begun. For the next 40 years,
the author was a determined soldier in a much more dramatic battle,
the battle for peace in the Holy City. Combining his moving
personal tale with outstanding academic scholarship, Moshe Amirav
offers a unique insider's perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian
struggle over the Holy City.
