<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A groundbreaking history that shows how peace between Egypt and Israel ensured lasting Palestinian statelessness</b> <p/>The 1978 Camp David Accords and the signing of the Egypt-Israel peace treaty are widely viewed as a triumph of U.S. diplomacy in the Middle East. Yet the Palestinians--the would-be beneficiaries of this vision for a comprehensive regional settlement--remain without a state to this day. How and why Palestinian statelessness persists are the central questions of Seth Anziska's groundbreaking history of the Palestinian-Israeli peace process. Based on newly declassified sources and interviews with key participants, <i>Preventing Palestine</i> charts how Egyptian-Israeli peace was forged at the cost of sovereignty for the Palestinians, creating crippling challenges to their aspirations for a homeland--hurdles that only increased with Israeli settlement expansion and Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon. The first Intifada and the end of the Cold War brought new opportunities for a Palestinian state, but the 1993 Oslo Accords undermined the meaning of independence. Filled with astute political analysis, <i>Preventing Palestine</i> offers a bold new interpretation of an enduring struggle for self-determination.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Winner of the BAJS Book Prize, British Association for Jewish Studies<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Seth Anziska</b> is the Mohamed S.
