This book describes the evolution of the Israeli-Palestinian peace-seeking process from 1967 to
the present. Written from the perspective of Israel's most prominent peace activist it offers
an unparalleled insider's account of a crucial set of negotiations intended to settle a
seemingly endless conflict. Hirschfeld's historical narrative provides a wealth of knowledge
and experience that is indispensable to anyone seeking to seriously approach the Middle East
conflict. The book's thorough analysis of the successes and failures of all peace efforts since
the Six-Day War represents an essential asset for future negotiators politicians diplomats
and peace activists alike. Moreover the book shares pearls of human wisdom that anyone
searching to resolve conflicts in general should take to heart. The book is of burning
topicality. Not only with a view to the normalisation process between Israel and Arab countries
that began with the recent Abraham Accords (2020) but also regarding the new age of war in
Europe sparked by Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine. The book includes a foreword by
Jackson DeConcini a US-Palestinian peace activist who offers a Palestinian perspective from
the younger generation.
