“In this volume Michael Brecher reveals many fascinating aspects of his own intellectual autobiography. Eschewing narrow disciplinary loyalties, he provides a sophisticated overview of the complex Arab-Israeli and Israeli-Palestinian disputes. Brecher’s Ben-Gurion/Sharett paradigm for analyzing Israel’s foreign policy options (ch. 5) has become classic, but his contributions to this field go far wider and deeper, as this multi-faceted collection attests. The author is inclusive and pluralistic in offering explanations of the history, evolution and dynamics of this protracted conflict, incorporating the insights of a lifetime of personal experience and displaying the highest standards of academic rigor. A rare example of wise and engaged scholarship speaking about – and to – the real, but flawed, world of decision-makers.” (Neil Caplan , author of “The Israel-Palestine Conflict: Contested Histories” (2009) and co-author (with Laura Eisenberg) of “Negotiating Arab-Israeli Peace: Patterns, Problems, Possibilities” (2nd ed., 2010))
