"Negotiating Arab-Israeli Peace is in a class of its own elucidating the reasons underlying decades of diplomatic failure in the search for peace. It is a book to be enjoyed by expert practitioners, well-read scholars, inexperienced undergraduates, and interested readers in the public. The authors are to be congratulated for such a notable achievement."-Frederic C. Hof, author of Beyond the Boundary: Lebanon, Israel, and the Challenge of Change "Nothing in my library comes close to Eisenberg and Caplan's unique and balanced treatment of the peace process. Their book is more essential today than when it was first published and contains many lessons that the parties could still benefit from."-Philip Mattar, editor-in-chief of the Encyclopedia of the Modern Middle East and North Africa "One of the best presentations of how the Middle East not only can be but should be approached from a theoretical perspective."-Glenn Palmer, Penn State University "One of the striking qualities of this book is the authors' ability to present a wide variety of views by referring to an extensive range of literature. Negotiating Arab-Israeli Peace is thus a highly nuanced account, providing a presentation of the various processes that is not only clear but also deeply analytical. If one were in need of a single book to cover Arab-Israeli diplomacy, this would be a good contender"-Journal of Peace Research "[This] is a first-rate study that reflects the authors' familiarity with and understanding of Arab-Israeli relations spread over more than a century of conflict and diplomacy, their gift for presenting complex problems in clear prose, and the thoroughness of their research."-Middle East Book Review
