* Jerusalem Post *
The book is a useful Israel-centered counterweight to the existing, mostly US-centered literature.
* H-Diplo *
Steinberg and Rubinovitz's book is an important and valuable contribution to our understanding of the Israeli–Egyptian peace process and one that deserves to be read widely.
* Israel Journal of Foreign Affairs *
In many ways, this volume is insightful and valuable, adding to the existing literature on Menachem Begin and his rightist, nationalist government.
* The Middle East Journal *
One of the challenges in analyzing Begin's role and positions in the Camp David process—indeed, his legacy in general—is the fact that he never published memoirs, or even gave fulsome interviews after leaving office. The authors of [Menachem Begin and the Israel-Egypt Peace Process] seek to restore Begin to his central and essential role.
