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.
