Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book offers a historical overview in the form of a personal memoir....Carter may thus be said to be both a source for the historian and himself a historian of the Israeli-Palestinian confrontation. This little book merits a reading on both counts."

-- L. Carl Brown, Foreign Affairs

"A provocative and all too accurate diagnosis of why the Israeli-Palestinian impasse still festers twenty-five years after [Carter] left the White House....Timely and refreshing for its candor."

-- Philip C. Wilcox, Jr., National Catholic Reporter

"This is a must-read for anyone desiring to understand the Middle East problems."

-- Dennis Lythgoe, The Deseret Morning News (Salt Lake City)

"Takes dead aim at what is the most pressing international affairs and national security issue of our times....Mr. Carter brings to the table a unique credibility."

-- Dan Simpson, The Toledo Blade (Ohio)

We need more people like Jimmy to wage peace between nations

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

Very informative. We need more people like Jimmy to wage peace between nations! Just got back from Palestine. Israel and Palestine seem further apart than ever, with Palestinians having few, if any, rights. Jimmy had asked for Palestine to be self-directing. That is far from the case. Back to the book,
Jimmy explains the situation in the Middle East clearly and includes history to help explain the current situation.

Jimmy Carter says it like it is

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2015

Jimmy Carter says it like it is. He's a man of compassion and has always worked for peace and justice. Everyone should read this book; and read as much as they can about the current situation in Palestine to know that a group of people are being systematically denied their human rights at every turn - little to no medical, no political outlet. A group of people targeted not only by the settlers but also by the soldiers and political machine of Israel. People need to stand up for human rights protection and denounce human rights violations. This is what Jimmy Carter has done. Thank you President Carter.

AIPAC - A Stumbling Block To Big To Get Over

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2018

Verified Purchase

President Carter wrote this book 11 years ago. So it is dated. But his goal - Palestine Peace Not Apartheid - is a most worthy goal...and it took a great deal of courage for the President to show that the actions of some of Israel's leaders have created a situation that clearly resembles apartheid. Since the influence of AIPAC has not diminished in the past 11 years, it is hard to imagine that our political will will change our counter productive foreign policy.

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2016

Clear, well-written and informative. Jimmy Carter's experiences show us how biased the U.S. mainstream media are with respect to Israel. While he doesn't mention AIPAC by name, it is clear that this organization is way more nefarious than the NRA when it comes to influencing American thought and politics.

Excellent, but....

Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2015

Verified Purchase

President Carter boldly and honestly speaks to the masses in America whose opinions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are fashioned by ignorance. Anybody who knows the history of modern Israel and has no sympathy for the Palestinian cause shares the same imperialist mindset as Cecil Rhodes, Jan Smuts and Adolph Hitler. Just like the Boers and the Pilgrims, the Israeli Jews are European outcasts who knew the pain of oppression and discrimination, but had no problem taking over other people's land and oppressing and discriminating against them.

The only problem I had with this excellent book was with the pulled punches. Unlike President Carter, I am fully convinced that Israeli apartheid "is" motivated by a sense of ethnic superiority. How else would you explain the desire for a "Jewish" state and the clear mandate that Palestinian refugees must give up any hope of returning to their homeland?

Unlike President Carter, I am also unwilling to embrace the 1947 United decision as an unbiased solution. Remember, the decision was made at the height of global White supremacy where European nations still claimed possession of much of Africa and Asia, and apartheid was a daily reality for American citizens. This United Nations had no problem disenfranchising and displacing a people with a single vote.

Nonetheless, although the United Nations' decision was rooted in imperialistic notions of European supremacy (coupled with an overwhelming dose of guilt for the Holocaust), I believe that we must deal with present realities. Those "Jewish" immigrants who inhabit the region (remember, there were less than 60,000 Jews living in that geographical area before 1900), should be allowed to remain--but only under conditions negotiated with Palestinians who are viewed as equals at the table. Once the terms have been ironed out, "all" the people in the region should be given an opportunity to have their voices heard at the ballot box. This is the "only" solution for those who claim to support democracy. This is the roadmap to peace.

A deep and refreshing analysis of the question. Some might not like it but I suggest to read it without prejudice

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 1, 2015

Verified Purchase

A book that generated many controversies and quarrels about the subject and the simple, straightforward approach to it by the former President of USA.
It is about the pointless unresolved Palestine question, which he does not underestimate but also does not tolerate it can still be unresolved now that we live in the 3rd millennium.
Carter has been maybe the finest and most committed American President, talking about peace, a just global balance of power and a less selfish role of America in a changing world.
He often addressed his people about not thinking to be better, superior and more important than the rest of the world, and that is why he was not re-elected, because he spoke the truth and the truth is not acceppted when it questions a long-time tradition of patriottism and self-celebration. And with the same courage he tackled with this really hard subject and took an unpopular position, at least to the eyes of his country, a longtime partner of Israel. But the point is that he needed to question all the unquestioned clichè about that conflict and the rights and wrongs of the 2 middle east people, to refresh the approach to the matter, showing the american people that most historical and more recent aspects of that story have been always told in a biased way, like to protect and support Israel but, in the long terms, ending up putting that very people in his own trap, instead of facing all the sides of the truth and urging for a real change of the situation. To see what happened after this book, please also watch the excellent documentary made by Jonathan Demme (The Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia, etc...) who followed Carter in his tour to present the book, and revealed the man (a great and honest man) behind the president

Well Balanced

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 6, 2012

Verified Purchase

This book arrived Monday and I finished it today (Tuesday). I am of an age which allows me to remember a lot of what is covered. To be honest I thought at first it was going to be another whitewash job. However, further into the book I changed my mind. Jimmy Carter has given a remarkably well balanced account of the troubles in the Middle East. Where a lot of people might feel the criticism of the Israeli behavior and attitude is too harsh they are reading with a biased mind. Carter lays blame where it is due and is critical of both sides in equal measure. A very good overall picture of what has gone badly wrong and offers a political solution. I would gladly recommend this book to any one wanting to learn about recent middle east history written with the flair of a novelist that makes the facts easy to absorb.

Some major historical vents are mentioned for those who don't know the Middle East. President Carter' views and opinion expressed in this book are unfortunetly not been widley exposed oin the media (USA, Europe) because they were, although objectively expressed, critical against Israel which is not only ignoring the UN resolutions but also using arms wich are prohibited by international laws. Israel is fast to condemn those who don't respect them but they apply to them they constantly defy the whole world and the whole world doesn't dare criticise them. I recommend this book for everybody, old and young.

A view from inside the corridors of power which has concluded that peace is needed to bring this conflict to an end and the current system of Apartheid being perpetuated against the Palestinian will never be the solution, if a peaceful indeed is being sought.
