Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. First Edition (stated). FIRST PRINTING of the First Edition (stated). An insightful but also pessimistic analysis of the various peace accords drawn up between Israel and the Palestinians, the author citing the various ways in which they are lopsided in favor of Israel and do not really resolve much of anything other than to serve as high-profile photo-ops for politicians - and how the future course of the Mideast can only experience more violence, terrorism, and repression until genuine peace efforts are made which address the core issues of Palestinian self-determination and human rights. Hardcover with dust jacket, indexed, 345pp. A very nice copy, the jacket neatly encased in an acid-free archival plastic protector. Rare. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book.
