This book examines leaders of the seemingly intractable conflict
between Israel and its Palestinian neighbors. It takes as an
intellectual target of opportunity six Israeli prime ministers,
asking why some of them have persisted in some hard-line positions
but others have opted to become peacemakers. This book argues that
some leaders do change, and above all it explains why and how such
changes come about. This book goes beyond arguing simply that
'leaders matter' by analyzing how their particular belief systems
and personalities can ultimately make a difference to their
country's foreign policy, especially toward a long-standing enemy.
Although no hard-liner can stand completely still in the face of
important changes, only those with ideologies that have specific
components that act as obstacles to change and who have an
orientation toward the past may need to be replaced for dramatic
policy changes to take place.
