Searching for Peace, written by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, offers a riveting inside political story and an unparalleled window into Israeli history, peacemaking, politics, U.S.-Israel relations, and the future of the Middle East. In the updated paperback edition, Olmert offers his views on the events leading up to and in the aftermath of October 7, including the Israeli government's failure to defend the south and its citizens; the collapse of the government reaction; the Israeli military operation, its achievements, and difficulties; the American reaction; and what is or should be the endgame for this conflict. Olmert's compelling memoir--originally written from inside a prison cell, after his conviction on bribery charges stemming from his term as mayor of Jerusalem--chronicles his early life, political rise to the highest levels of the Israeli government, near success in negotiating a comprehensive peace plan with the Palestinians, and his inside account of his trial and conviction.
Ehud Olmert served as Prime Minister of Israel from 2006 to 2009 and Mayor of Jerusalem from 1993 to 2003.
