Transfer of Arms, Leverage, and Peace in the Middle East (Chap. 4 "The Camp David Accords: A New Beginning?")
by Nitza Nachmias. 204 pgs.

Read/Write Review

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

Although Israel has been primarily dependent on U.S. arms for its national security since 1968, supplying military aid has not conferred the degree of policy leverage anticipated by the United States. This study analyzes the reasons why the tactics of transferring or withholding arms have failed to achieve U.S. foreign policy goals in the Middle East.

For reasons of national security, official public records surrounding Americas involvement in the Arab-Israeli negotiations remain unavailable. Heroic Diplomacy provides an unequalled insight into the internal divisions and untold stories of the peace process. Covering an extraordinary range of first-hand accounts from over eighty bureaucrats, diplomats and military leaders who participated in Arab-Israeli peace talks from 1973 to 1978 the book charts the complex and often contradictory goals of Egypt, Israel, Jordan, the US and the USSR.

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

This critical examination of American-Israeli relations from the last year of the Kennedy administration to the last year of Bill Clinton's tenure in office is a companion volume to Herbert Druks' previous book The Uncertain Friendship: The U.S. and Israel from Roosevelt to Kennedy. Based on extensive research of archival sources and interviews of those who made this history happen, such as Harry S. Truman, Averell Harriman, Yitzhak Rabin, and Yitzhak Shamir, this study provides a challenging examination of key events and issues during the last three decades, including JFK and Israel's nuclear research, Johnson and the Six Day War, Kissinger-Nixon and the Yom Kippur War, the rescue at Entebbe, Begin's decision to liberate Lebanon from the PLO, Bush and Iraq and the "Land for Peace" formula.

Jimmy Carter: Foreign Policy and Post-presidential Years (Includes discussion of the Camp David Accords in multiple chapters)
by Herbert D. Rosenbaum, Alexej Ugrinsky. 516 pgs.

Book

Read/Write Review

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

President Jimmy Carter, like all his predecessors since World War II, experienced the blurring of lines between foreign and domestic policy, while, paradoxically, the contrasts between those lines became more pronounced. This volume examines the high points of the Carter foreign policy approach--human rights, working with the developing world, and the efforts for peace in the Middle East--as well as the low points such as his failure to free the hostages in Iran. In addition, the volume examines President Carter's career since leaving office.

Plans for Peace: Negotiation and the Arab-Israeli Conflict (Includes discussion of the Camp David Accords in multiple chapters)
by Karen A. Feste. 186 pgs.

Book

Read/Write Review

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

This analysis and history of the Arab-Israeli conflict is unique in linking major issues and peace plans to negotiation theory and strategy. The text analyzes the framework of the Arab-Israeli conflict, how it has built up, and how it has been maintained. The structure of the negotiation process is then viewed in the same way. Key elements in the Arab-Israeli conflict are considered historically and related directly to the process of negotiation and to theories about positional and principled bargaining and tactics needed in a pre-negotiation period and during negotiation to produce more successful results.
