From Library Journal This is a photo album of today's West Bank and Gaza. Represented are the people who together act and react in the cauldron that is Israel and the Middle East. Notwithstanding the aims of Yasser Arafat and others, it will ultimately be these people and their neighbors who will make or break any peace in this troubled area, the authors point out. Although the Wallach's have assembled good narratives and captured valuable data and emotions, the book is not up to the quality found in David Grossman's Yellow Wind and Fawaz Turki's Soul in Exile (both, LJ 4/15/88). Those two together are better written, more emotive, and more persuasive. However, if only one volume can be bought, this might do. Yellow Wind was an LJ Best Book of 1988; see the January issue, p.40.- Ed. -- David P. Snider, Casa Grande P.L., Ariz.Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.

This biography of Yasser Arafat looks at various aspects of his life: from his childhood to his days as a student leader in Cairo, from the women who have been part of his life to his involvement with terrrorism. The book tells how Arafat was finally persuaded to renounce terrorism and accept Israel. The book examines the PLO Chairman from various perspectives including the Americans who have negotiated with him, his Syrian adversaries, his Jordanian allies and his Israeli enemies. Those interviewed include Jordan's King Hussein and Israel's Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir.

Every summer since 1993, the woods of Maine have witnessed a remarkable attempt to plant the idea of peace in the hearts and minds of the next generation of Middle East leaders. For three weeks, 300 Arab and Israeli teenagers leave behind the violence and hatred ingrained in their homelands to meet their “enemies” face to face. At times it’s an emotionally wrenching process, but it can produce surprising friendships and an enduring belief in coexistence. Seeds of Peace makes the most of the adaptability and enthusiasm of youth, creating a secure environment in which teenagers―supported by trained counselors―can dare to argue with and play alongside one another, to challenge preconceptions, and to envisage a peaceful Middle East. The author vividly describes the camp experience and follows the youngsters’ return home, where despite criticism from friends and families many of them continue to promote Arab-Israeli coexistence. This highly engaging and accessible account of peacemaking in action also includes photographs and feature boxes that help bring alive the complex issues involved.
