2003 Nobel Peace Prize Since his earliest days in the White House, Jimmy Carter has demonstrated an untiring passion for pursuing peace in the Middle East. His formation of the Carter Center and his continuing promient role in world affairs have done nothing to dampen that passion. In this new edition of a national bestseller, President Carter demystifies the history of each nation's political expectations, the reasons for their different goals, and the nature of their prime concerns. His landmark study provides and enlightened and reconciling vision for all—Jews, Moslems, and Christians—who share the blood of Abraham. "The book's main lesson is one that Carter taught so well at Camp David: that adversaries in the Middle East can take giant steps toward peace if America's president acts as a 'trusted mediator' and an 'unwavering, enthusiastic' partner in the process." —Russell Watson, Newsweek "Thoughtful in its analysis of the region's recent history and painstaking in its presentation of the fundamental conflicts." —Tom Hundley, Detroit Free Press "A caring, well-reasoned and closely informed book . . . can be read by the non-expert without fear of arcana overload, yet can be read profitably by experts for its clearness of thought." —Tom Teepen, Atlanta Journal and Constitution 1993, 288 pages |
