Death Tango traces the Middle East dynamic back to the events of
March 27-29, 2002. March 27, Passover Eve, witnessed the most
bloody and traumatic Arab terrorist attack in Israel's history, the
Park Hotel bombing in Netanya. On March 28, an Arab League summit
in Beirut adopted the Arab Peace Initiative, the most far-reaching
Arab attempt to set parameters for ending the Israel-Arab conflict.
The next day, Israel invaded and reoccupied the West Bank in
Operation Defensive Shield. Alpher illustrates the interaction
between these three critical events and depicts the key
personalities-politicians, generals, and a star journalist-involved
on all sides. It moves from a suicide bombing to the deliberations
of Arab leaders; from the Israel Prime Minister's Office-where
Ariel Sharon fulminated against Yasser Arafat-to Washington, where
the United States fumbled and misunderstood the dynamics at work;
and on to the Jenin refugee camp, where Israeli soldiers won a
bloody military battle but Israel lost the media battle of public
opinion. Based on extensive interviews and his deep personal
knowledge, Alpher analyzes the three days in late March 2002 as a
catalyst of extensive change in the Middle East, concluding that
Arabs and Israelis are dancing a kind of "death tango."
