<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>President Carters challenging and provocative assessment of what must be done to bring permanent peace to Israel with dignity and justice for Palestinians--and one of the most important books of the year--is now available in paperback.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Following his #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller, <i>Our Endangered Values</i>, the former president, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, offers an assessment of what must be done to bring permanent peace to Israel with dignity and justice to Palestine.</b> <p/>President Carter, who was able to negotiate peace between Israel and Egypt, has remained deeply involved in Middle East affairs since leaving the White House. He has stayed in touch with the major players from all sides in the conflict and has made numerous trips to the Holy Land, most recently as an observer in the Palestinian elections of 2005 and 2006. <p/>In this book, President Carter shares his intimate knowledge of the history of the Middle East and his personal experiences with the principal actors, and he addresses sensitive political issues many American officials avoid. Pulling no punches, Carter prescribes steps that must be taken for the two states to share the Holy Land without a system of apartheid or the constant fear of terrorism. <p/>The general parameters of a long-term, two-state agreement are well known, the president writes. There will be no substantive and permanent peace for any peoples in this troubled region as long as Israel is violating key UN resolutions, official American policy, and the international "road map" for peace by occupying Arab lands and oppressing the Palestinians. Except for mutually agreeable negotiated modifications, Israel's official pre-1967 borders must be honored. As were all previous administrations since the founding of Israel, US government leaders must be in the forefront of achieving this long-delayed goal of a just agreement that both sides can honor. <p/><i>Palestine Peace Not Apartheid</i> is a challenging, provocative, and courageous book.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A provocative and all too accurate diagnosis of why the Israeli-Palestinian impasse still festers twenty-five years after [Carter] left the White House....Timely and refreshing for its candor. <p/> -- Philip C. Wilcox, Jr., <i>National Catholic Reporter</i><br><br>Takes dead aim at what is the most pressing international affairs and national security issue of our times....Mr. Carter brings to the table a unique credibility. <p/> -- Dan Simpson, <i>The Toledo Blade</i> (Ohio)<br><br>This book offers a historical overview in the form of a personal memoir....Carter may thus be said to be both a source for the historian and himself a historian of the Israeli-Palestinian confrontation. This little book merits a reading on both counts. <p/> -- L. Carl Brown, <i>Foreign Affairs</i><br><br>This is a must-read for anyone desiring to understand the Middle East problems. <p/> -- Dennis Lythgoe, <i>The Deseret Morning News</i> (Salt Lake City)<br>
