Book Description:

Amid today's efforts to bring Israel and her Arab neighbors to the conference table, it is easy to forget that, for a few brief years after Israel's War of Independence, the Jewish and Arab states engaged in direct armistice negotiations that came tantalizingly close to a permanent settlement. Itamar Rabinovich mines newly opened archives to reconstruct those critical talks, showing how close they came to success and how their failure laid the foundations for the current impasse.
