For nearly twenty years, Aaron David Miller has played a
central role in U.S. efforts to broker Arab-Israeli peace.
His position as an advisor to presidents, secretaries of
state, and national security advisors has given him a
unique perspective on a problem that American leaders have
wrestled with for more than half a century. Why has the
world’s greatest superpower failed to broker, or impose, a
solution in the Middle East? If a solution is possible,
what would it take? And why after so many years of struggle
and failure, with the entire region even more unsettled
than ever, should Americans even care? Is Israel/Palestine
really the “much too promised land”? As a historian, analyst, and negotiator, perhaps no one is
more qualified to answer these questions than Aaron David
Miller. Without partisanship or finger-pointing, Miller
lucidly and honestly records what went right, what went
wrong, and how we got where we are today. Here is an
insider’s view of the peace process from a place at the
negotiating table, filled with unforgettable stories and
colorful behind-the-scenes anecdotes. Here, too, are new
interviews with all the key players, including Presidents
Carter, Ford, Bush forty-one, all nine U.S. secretaries of
state, as well Arab and Israeli leaders, who disclose the
inner thoughts and strategies that motivated them. The
result is a book that shatters all preconceived notions to
tackle the complicated issues of culture, religion,
domestic politics, and national security that have defined—
and often derailed—a half century of diplomacy. Honest, critical, and certain to be controversial, this
insightful first-person account offers a brilliant new
analysis of the problem of Arab-Israeli peace and how,
against all odds, it still might be solved.
