The Truth About Camp David : The Untold Story about Arafat, Barak, Clinton, and the Collapse of the Middle East Peace Process
By Clayton E. Swisher
Publisher: Nation Books, USA (15 September 2004), 445 pages
Publisher Description: Based on two years of travel and investigative research, Clayton E. Swisher tells in riveting detail the untold story behind the diplomatic efforts to broker an Arab-Israeli peace under former U.S. President Bill Clinton and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Swisher, who worked as a Special Agent and was present at the negotiations, overturns commonly accepted history that places blame for the failure to achieve peace solely with the Arabs. Swisher exposes the real "how and why," revealing Barak's embarrassing intransigence and the U.S.'s innumerable shortcomings as a so-called "honest broker." A former federal investigator for the U.S. Department of State, Swisher has talked with many of the direct participants, including former CIA and Israeli intelligence officials, who are furious that blame has been shelved solely on the Syrian and Palestinian parties. And the reverberations of this diplomatic disaster are still being felt today: The alleged "intransigence" of the Arabs and Palestinians is often invoked by Sharon, Bush and his neo-conservative allies who use the "myth of the generous offer" at Camp David to promote their own brand of "regime chan

By David Grossman

For the last ten years, David Grossman, one of Israel’s great fiction writers, has addressed these questions in a series of passionate essays and articles, writing not only as one of his country’s most respected novelists and commentators, but as a husband and father and peace activist bitterly disappointed in the leaders of both sides.

The Israeli-Egyptian Peace Process in the Reporting of Western Journalists
By Mohammed el-Nawawy
Publisher: Ablex Publishing (January 2002), 232 pages
Of the enormous number of books published on the Arab-Israeli conflict, most focus on its history or the political dimensions of the current peace process. None, however, has provided an in-depth look at the relationship between those who shape the events and the Western journalists who cover them. In this bold new study, Mohammed A. el-Nawawy explores the ways in which government officials try to manipulate the news media, how the reporters contend with such interference, the professional and newsmaking roles of the journalists, and how their demographic and educational backgrounds influence their coverage of this crucial time and place.
Palestinian Politics after the Oslo Accords: Resuming Arab Palestine
By Nathan J. Brown
This timely and critically important work does what hostilities in the Middle East have made nearly impossible: it offers a measured, internal perspective on Palestinian politics, viewing emerging political patterns from the Palestinian point of view rather than through the prism of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Based on groundbreaking fieldwork, interviews with Palestinian leaders, and an extensive survey of Arabic-language writings and documents, Palestinian Politics after the Oslo Accords presents the meaning of state building and self-reliance as Palestinians themselves have understood them in the years between 1993 and 2002.
