This review is from: Breakthrough: A Personal Account of the Egypt-Israel Peace Negotiations (Hardcover)

If you have ever read a book on the art of negotiation this book is a must read case study.

General Dayan writes an even handed report on the process which established the admittedly "cold" peace between Egypt and Israel in 1979. The pressures from the Carter White House as well as from the various Arab Nations and the Palestinian Arabs as well factor into a highly complex interaction and Dayan reveals the strategies employed by all sides as clearly as he can perceive them. Personally I think there is a lot of valuable insight here not only for the student of negotiation but for anyone who is currently a player in the area of international relations. Very worth the time it takes to read and digest the material. I find it has illumined the current world political scene for me in profound ways.
