About this title: Selected by President Clinton to lead the United States team in the difficult effort to broker a peace agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians, Dennis Ross was the central figure in day-to-day meetings and general strategy of a decade-long effort which ultimately fell apart. In THE MISSING PEACE, Ross offers his insider account of the road from Madrid to Oslo, with portraits of the major players such as Clinton, Netanyahu, Barak, Arafat, and others, and he offers his analysis of the high-stakes gamesmanship by all sides. A New York Times Notable Book for 2004.

"Dennis Ross was a member of the presidential cabinets of Reagan through Clinton and served as the cheif Middle East Peace negotiator for H.W. Bush and Clinton. A lot of people call this book a great insight to the peace making process in the Middle East. I found the text to be subtly racist and extremely biased toward the West and Israeli agendas. I suppose that makes sense, considering who the man is and what the main preoccupation of the United States is in the Middle East."
"I read this book several years ago now, so the details are no longer fresh in my memory, but it's been such an important book for me, because it has so thoroughly shaped my outlook on Middle East politics. If you're not willing to dig through the several hundred pages of this blow-by-blow account of peace negotiations (both successes and failures) from the late 80s through the end of the 90s, I'd still recommend the first chapter or two, which are without question the most succinct, lucid, and even-handed portrayal I've found of the events and views that have led to the current conflict."
"This is a tough book to get through but I give it five stars because it is the best account we will ever have of why Bill Clinton's attempt to forge a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians failed. Nobody is ever perfect in these matters but Yasir Arafat was, in the end, incapable of signing on the dotted line because he relished his status as a victim. You cannot deal with people like that as this book makes clear."
