Eugene Narrett (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 28, 2001

A scintillating analysis of the dangers of the Oslo Peace Process and the chance for the current crisis to lead to Israeli renewal and world peace. "Professor Narrett's articles are insightful, scholarly and graced by literary style and originality. He is a man of truth who displays impressive erudition in writing on the Israeli-Arab conflict." -Professor Paul Eidelberg, President, Foundation of Constitutional Democracy, author, Judaic Man, Jewish Statesmanship "Eugene Narrett writes with a great deal of knowledge and intelligence, and far more understanding of the issues than many so-called 'Middle East experts.'" -Professor Rael Jean Isaac, editor, The Outpost, author, Israel Divided "Professor Narrett is one of the few academics who has had a clear understanding of the dangers inherent in the "peace process" from the outset. His prophetic writings lucidly present complex issues, displaying profound understanding, depth of feeling and love of Israel. We are fortunate to have this extraordinary collection, an invaluable resource to the concerned reader." -Helen Freedman, Executive Director, Americans for a Safe Israel"One of the most prolific and intelligent Zionist thinkers in the United States today, Eugene Narrett's comments on the politics of the Middle East should be required reading. His keen eye and sharp wit make him a great American and Jewish resource."-Professor Steven Plaut, University of Haifa "I have avidly followed Professor Narrett's work. His scintillating analysis will be proved right after all the politicians and international statesmen will be shown to have been dead wrong. His wise and insightful writings are a badge of courage."-Miriam Samsonowitz, Studio Har Chotzvim, Jerusalem, Israel

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

The Oslo "peace process" has brought the world to crisis over Jerusalem, just as the prophets foretold. These incisive essays show how the wreckage of this Process offers a unique opportunity for Israel and all nations to re-chart their path.

This review is from: Gathered Against Jerusalem: Essays on a False Peace (Paperback)

Dr. Narrett combines significant and rare history, penetrating analysis of the present situation, and a religious understanding to the situation in Israel today. This is the type of book that could change the course of history in Israel and, in a broad sense, Jewish history itself, if it is read by enough Jews. I would urge my fellow Jews, and anyone who wants to understand the dynamics of the Israel/Arab conflict, to read this book.

An amazing voice! Well researched and written, Narrett takes us beyond the land of soundbites to the land of harsh reality. You can't get a real sense of the current war until you read this book.
