Dennis Ross, the chief Middle East peace negotiator in the presidential administrations of George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton, is that rare figure who is respected by all parties: Democrats and Republicans, Palestinians and Israelis, presidents and people on the street in Jerusalem, Ramallah, and Washington, D.C.<br><br>Ross recounts the peace process in detail from 1988 to the breakdown of talks in early 2001 that prompted the so-called second Intifada-and takes account of recent developments in a new afterword written for this edition. It's all here: Camp David, Oslo, Geneva, Egypt, and other summits; the assassination of Yitzak Rabin; the rise and fall of Benjamin Netanyahu; the very different characters and strategies of Rabin, Yasir Arafat, and Bill Clinton; and the first steps of the Palestinian Authority. For the first time, the backroom negotiations, the dramatic and often secretive nature of the process, and the reasons for its faltering are on display for all to see.<i> The Missing Peace</i> explains, as no other book has, why Middle East peace remains so elusive.<br></div> 114498 2004 The Missing Peace: The Inside Story of the Fight for Middle East Peace total:37|5:10|4:18|3:4|2:3|1:2| 37 142 78 9 5 0 false false Sat Nov 10 12:00:56 -0800 2007 Sat Nov 10 12:04:29 -0800 2007 more...]]> 0 0 false false Mon Jun 01 09:35:03 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 01 16:54:41 -0700 2009 5 0 true false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Apr 20 09:57:04 -0700 2007 Tue Apr 24 20:00:38 -0700 2007 more...]]> 2 0 false false Wed Oct 22 09:14:00 -0700 2008 Sun Feb 10 20:45:57 -0800 2008 Wed Oct 22 09:14:00 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Thu Oct 04 22:25:59 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 04 22:30:06 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Mon Aug 06 12:14:18 -0700 2007 Fri Dec 28 22:58:23 -0800 2007
