Book Reviews of Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid
Book Review: Truth
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always had my reservations about Jimmy Carter. I did not like his presidency, its legacy nor how he handled the Hijacking towards the end of his presidency.
That said
I found this book to be the best, all around go-to book that explains EVERYTHING concerning Israel, its neighbors and the history of the conflict and how it leads up to today. Carter's bias is little and generally he gives both sides and history a very fair shake, so fair in fact that I have read many inflamatory comments and reviews that he is a Jew hater, israel hater or arab hater. This books sits next to The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy by John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen M. Walt and a few books by Niall Ferguson in my library in my study.
If you want a concise, fair and truely balanced view of what problems exist in the middle east then by all means read this book! He took pains to back every bit that he could with UN resolutions in his appedix.
Book Review: A Must Read!
Summary: 5 Stars
Jimmy Carter exemplifies altruistic behavior and equality of ALL men. Finally an unprejudiced person in authority speaks the truth.
Zionists may argue that he's lying and his book is biased. But I implore you to read this book with an open mind. He was an integral part of the mid-east peace process, and as such has merit to write a book of this nature. It is completely free of bias. He points out the flaws of both sides, as well as the good on both sides. His book is not Pro-Israel, or Pro-Palestine...it's Pro-Peace.
If you want an unbiased analysis of the Mid-East, by a man involved in the process, this is the book for you.
Book Review: The Truth
Summary: 5 Stars
It's great to see someone with the status that Jimmy Carter holds, still care to make what is wrong with the world right. A majority of this country did not re-elect President Carter for a second presidential term,(Your loss) but years later he is still making an impact on the lives of people all over the world. That is who we need in office, someone who is sincere enough to care when the cameras are not on, and when lobbyists are not whispering in your ear. President Carter....thank you for your efforts with Palestine and all the other numerous causes you strive to make right.Book Review: A real description of the Palestinian - Israeli conflict
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't really understood what the issue between Palestinians and Israelis is until reading this book. I was exposed just to what the American media had to say. After I read this book I realized just how biased the information from the media is. I believe that this book uncovers the real issue on the Palestinian Israeli conflict. It starts with a history of the region and continues with the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian land and it describes the injustice towards the Palestinians and the denial of their basic human rights.Book Review: complex issues clearly explained
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is easy to read and clearly explains the history and present day situation in Palestine. It is President Carter's assessment, and his ego is evident, but overall this is an interesting book, particularly if you're just starting to learn about this area of the world. I read it in a couple of hours and plan to read it again to pick up more detail. I found especially interesting the internal politics of the countries bordering Palestine.
