Description
Book SynopsisIn response to the challenges of bringing the tenacious Israeli-Palestinian conflict to an end, many have offered grand historical perspectives, vague formulas, or visionary new proposals. Klieman goes beyond abstract reflections to offer a clear and practical assessment of which issues will be important, and why.
