Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Guyatt, a Cambridge historian and visiting scholar at Princeton University, has conducted some solid research on the current Middle East peace process and concludes that the Oslo Agreement is a failure, primarily because of Israeli intransigence and public policy. The background provided is a rather stilted version of the history of Palestine, which, according to the author, was wrenched from its rightful native inhabitants by Zionist interlopers. Expropriation of Palestinians' land led to the development of the violent trappings of Palestinian extremism and anti-Israeli outbursts. The Oslo Agreement, the author concludes, was doomed from the start and never really had a chance to succeed because Israel had no intention of honoring it. Palestinian self-determination and independence can only be achieved when the remnants of Israel occupation are totally eliminated. While his approach is not particularly balanced, Guyatt spells out his perspective in clear terms and provides the reader with an articulate understanding of the Palestinian position. Recommended for large collections.?Sanford R. Silverburg, Catawba Coll., Salisbury, NC

Review
"The 'peace process' in the Middle East has been seriously misunderstood, in my opinion, with very unfortunate human consequences. Nick Guyatt's lucid and well-informed study is a badly needed corrective. I hope that it will be widely read, and will help bring about a redirection that is imperative if ominous prospects are to be averted, and some measure of peace and justice are to be achieved." - Noam Chomsky
