false 2178544 3 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&#8217;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 &#8220;much too promised land&#8221;?<b><br><br></b>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&#8217;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&#8212;and often derailed&#8212;a half century of diplomacy.<br><br>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. 2184222 25 3 2008 The Much Too Promised Land: America's Elusive Search for Arab-Israeli Peace total:38|5:3|4:14|3:18|2:3|1:0| 38 131 105 11 3 1 false false Wed Feb 18 15:42:51 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 08:21:07 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Jul 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 23 15:28:59 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 23 15:59:32 -0700 2009
