Omschrijving
Focusing on the character and personality of Menachem Begin, Gerald Steinberg and Ziv Rubinovitz offer a new look into the peace negotiations between Israel and Egypt in the 1970s.
A painstakingly researched and nuanced examination of Begin's contribution to the success of the peace talks.
The book is a useful Israel-centered counterweight to the existing, mostly US-centered literature.
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.
In many ways, this volume is insightful and valuable, adding to the existing literature on Menachem Begin and his rightist, nationalist government.
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.
Gerald M. Steinberg is Professor of Political Science at Bar Ilan University, and founder of the Graduate Program on Conflict Management and Negotiation. He is author of Satellite Reconnaissance: The Role of Informal Bargaining and (with Anne Herzberg and Jordan Berman) of Best Practices for Human Rights and Humanitarian NGO Fact-Finding.
Ziv Rubinovitz is Israel Institute Teaching Fellow at Sonoma State University.
