"If the peacemakers are blest, then President Carter is a truly blessed man. He has spent more than thirty years cultivating relationships in the Holy Land with key members of all of the political and religious groups. Over time, he has developed a plan for bringing peace to one of the most embattled areas on the planet.
Carter wrote this book to urge President Obama to push for peace in the middle east. The former president's voice is both authoritative and persuasive. When so much of the news from the Middle East seems to be discouraging, Carter adds a persistently optimistic voice into the mix.
Highly recommended, both as a historic overview of the situation in the Holy Land, and as a plan for the future."
"I read this book maybe a year after I read Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, and I was somewhat disappointed with this newest book. While it was informative and provided a good perspective on the Isreal-Palestine conflict, I felt like Carter was definitely toning it down after upsetting people with his perspective in Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid. It seemed like he was definitely less critical of Israel and trying to appeal to a larger base of people, which may be smart but perhaps is less honest. Still, a good read if you want to learn more about the conflict."
"Clear statement of history of the region and its peoples, simplified enough to be comprehended by the interested citizen of any country. Lays out the one-state solution as inevitable if Israeli settlements in the West Bank continue and are not dismantled, and the two-state solution as the preferred alternative which will require hard choices by Israelis. No solution is not an option. Carter is clear and hopeful that the parties are close to a meaningful agreement/peace solution."
"I love me some Jimmy Carter, but the bulk of this book is a cliff notes for those unfamiliar with the history of the conflict and the parties invovled in the conflict and in the peace process, or a cliff note review for those who are familiar. The plan for peace is nothing new, the both sides need leaders comitted to peace, the international community needs to support the peace process, the U.S. needs to play a leadership role in the process, each side must abide by international peace agreeements already made, etc. But while the title of the book is optimistic, the tone of the last few chapters seems more of a warning that time is running out."
