The former president of the USA, give his insights into the continuing conflict in the Middle East. He gives background information on the area, its history and how the conflicts have been simmering since time immemorial. He was also one of the main players when Israel and Egypt signed their peace treaty. Alas, peace still eludes the region.
His main thrust is that we must never give up hope in order to achieve permanent peace. Of course, that is always easier said than done.
A well written book and he tries to give a balanced point of view which might not be palatable to all. But the truth can be unpleasant and we need to confront them before any progress can be made.
