Zusatztext This extremely well-written book clearly reflects the extensive archival research that has gone into it. Chamberlin's narrative style is engaging and effective, and offers a great deal of information and insight into U.S. policy towards the PLO and, through this, the Arab-Israeli conflict and the wider region. For the reader, the access provided by the author to U.S. thinking is akin to the impact that Wikileaks has had more recently, giving this historical study an unexpectedly fresh and topical feel. I recommend it without any hesitation. Informationen zum Autor Paul Chamberlin is Associate Professor of History at the University of Kentucky.
