Master of the Game (inbunden, eng)

A perceptive and provocative history of Henry Kissinger''s diplomatic negotiations in the Middle East that illuminates the unique challenges and barriers Kissinger and his successors have faced in their attempts to broker peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors.
 
“A wealth of lessons for today, not only about the challenges in that region but also about the art of diplomacy . . the drama, dazzling maneuvers, and grand strategic vision.”—Walter Isaacson, author of The Code Breaker        


More than twenty years have elapsed since the United States last brokered a peace agreement between the Israelis and PalestiniansIn that time, three presidents have tried and failed. Martin Indyk—a former United States ambassador to Israel and special envoy for the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations in 2013—has experienced these political frustrations and disappointments firsthand.
 
Now, in an attempt to understand the arc of American diplomatic influence in the Middle East, he returns to the origins of American-led peace efforts and to the man who created the Middle East peace process—Henry KissingerBased on newly available documents from American and Israeli archives, extensive interviews with Kissinger, and Indyk''s own interactions with some of the main players, the author takes readers inside the negotiations. Here is a roster of larger-than-life characters—Anwar Sadat, Golda Meir, Moshe Dayan, Yitzhak Rabin, Hafez al-Assad, and Kissinger himself.
 
Indyk''s account is both that of a historian poring over the records of these events, as well as an inside player seeking to glean lessons for Middle East peacemakingHe makes clear that understanding Kissinger''s design for Middle East peacemaking is key to comprehending how to—and how not to—make peace.
