As someone who has traveled to Israel and learned firsthand about the constant conflict and felt passionate about seeking peace and fair resolution, this book provided some interesting insights to some historical milestones and events. The flow of the book was challenging and less than engaging to want to finish and keep my attention. Overall, I feel like there are likely better books on this topic with more poignant insights on both sides.

This may have suffered from reading it so closely to a book that acknowledges the Palestinian struggle, but this delves (to a point) to the US mediated peace process between Israel and Palestine over the last thirty years or so, given that our two authors were intimately involved, and why they failed on both sides and then conveniently fails to look too closely at the last three years or so. I understand that's because they haven't been too involved in the last three years, but it still feels pretty cowardly to give your perspective on everything happening up till that point, because they clearly have one. Solid read but isnt willing to take a stand.

This book really peaked my interest, cause I’m trying to learn as much as I can to help engage in really meaningful conversations with people who know significantly less. Thank you for getting a chance to read this early. I hope others find it as interesting and important as I do.
