Marwan Muasher, a prominent Jordanian diplomat, has been
instrumental in shaping Middle East peace efforts for nearly
twenty years. He served as Jordan’s first ambassador to
Israel and was also ambassador to the United States,
spokesperson at peace talks in Madrid and Washington,
minister of foreign affairs, and deputy prime minister in
charge of reform. Here he recounts the behind-the-scenes
details of diplomatic ventures over the past two decades,
including such recent undertakings as the Arab Peace
Initiative and the Middle East Road Map. Muasher’s insights into internal Arab politics and the
successes and failures of the Arab Center are uniquely
informed and deeply felt. He assesses how the middle road
approach to reform is faring and explains why current
tactics used by the West to deal with Islamic groups are
doomed to failure. He examines why the Arab Center has made
so little progress and which Arab, Israeli, and American
policies need rethinking. Part memoir and part analysis,
this book reveals the human side of the Arab-Israeli
conflict. It is essential reading for all who share the hope
that moderate, pragmatic Arab voices will be heard in
today’s vitriolic debates over how to achieve an enduring
peace in the Middle East.
