Editorial Review Product Description One of the greatest recent moments in the annals of peace during a century deeply marred by war and its atrocities was the handshake between longtime enemies Yitzak Rabin and Yassir Arafat in Washington, D.C., in 1993. Signifying a new era for the Middle East, the handshake was the public culmination of painstaking negotiations carried out by Shimon Peres, then Foreign Minister of Israel, and Palestinian representatives in Oslo, Norway. For their efforts, Rabin, Peres, and Arafat won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994. May, 1998, marks the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Israel. For the Future of Israel reveals the character of a leader who participated in the birth of his country and whose thoughts remain ever on the future--on the basis and prospects for peace. In five conversations with novelist and former Newsweek correspondent Robert Littell, Peres reflects on his youth in shtetl and kibbutz, the impact of the Holocaust on world affairs, what it means to be a Jew, and the ongoing struggle to end terrorism and forge peace between Israel and its neighbors. Completed in late 1996 and 1997, the interviews reflect the changed state of Israel since the assassination of Yitzak Rabin (after which Peres was named Prime Minister and Defense Minister) and the subsequent election of a Likud-led government in Israel and its renegotiation of aspects of the Oslo agreements. Peres speaks candidly of his negotiations with Arafat and of his close, complementary relationship with Rabin. Ranging widely over the last fifty years, he ponders the effect of the occupation of the territories on the character of his country. He gives his views on public figures he has known (among them Ben Gurion, Mitterand, Reagan, Netanyahu, Yeltsin, and Clinton), the qualities of good leadership, and the dangers of fundamentalism and religious parties. He describes his approach to negotiations, one that sharply contrasts with those who believe that the terms of peace must be dictated: "To achieve peace, you cannot impose your position or any position--you have to urge parties to come to a position."He conveys his belief that the future of peace for Israel lies in replacing the unifying force of war with the unifying strength of a constitution and ethics. This book is Peres' testament to the highest qualities of Israel and a thorough presentation of his deeply considered views on what must be done to preserve the country's spiritual and political aspirations.

The Man Who Abandoned Zionism
For the Future ofthe World He is criticised for being a dreamer but he is a diplomat politician statesman as well. We need optimists and realists right now and he is both otherwise Sharon would not have him in his government. Robert Littell is the perfect foil to Mr Peres and I would describe this book as a work of art.It is also jounalism at its highest and I cannot commend it too much

Editorial Review Product Description "Today, as yesterday and tomorrow, dreams are the well-spring of our national life. Israel is the only place in the world where the present constantly interacts with the past and the future, where reality can only be understood through the imaginary."-Shimon Peres "Peres has closely read and keenly analyzed Herzl's writings, and he cites them to show how the Zionist leader both perceived and misperceived the Jewish state-to-be."-The Washington Post Book World Shimon Peres was born in Poland and emigrated to Israel in 1934. He was prime minister from 1984 to 1986, and again from 1995 to 1996. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994 for his part in crafting the Oslo peace accords. He is the author of For the Future of Israel, Battling for Peace, and The New Middle East. He lives in Tel Aviv. Chapter 4: Generations Everything about today's Israelis took Herzl by surprise, beginning with their name - "Israelis." Herzl was a visionary genius about some matters but extraordinarily cautious about others, and one was assigning a name to the future inhabitants of the Jewish state. In Old-New Land, he calls Israel the "New Society," a name everyone will agree is stunningly bland. I can just imagine today's customs officials examining a "New Society" passport and trying to figure out where on earth the bearer might be from. David Ben-Gurion gave the new state being created the name "Israel" rather than "New Society." "Israel" reminded the world that this new country was not being formed ex nihilo; it symbolized the renai Customer Reviews (2)
Comparing visions
Two Visionaries, Different Eras Peres evaluatesthe predictions made by Herzl in his utopian novel, Old-New Land, in lightof present-day realities.Of course, some of them were totally off-base,but others are amazingly prescient.And, in discussing the character ofthe Jewish state and how it ought to deal with its neighbors, Peres quotesextensively from Herzl's writings and the works of other Zionist thinkers(e.g., Ahad Ha'am). Despite the mediocre editing job, there is plentyof keen insight on issues ranging from cultural/religious/ethnic diversityto the water problem in the Middle East that make this book a good read. ...

Better To Read What Rabin Said About Peres...
Battling for Credibility His autobiography "Battling for Peace" shows how a very ambitious politician uses reverses to strengthen his political backbone. Peres describes his early childhood in Poland, his emigration to Palestine and his political progress which started even while he was on a Kibbutz. Peres has been at the core of world politics for half a century and has met all other leaders of significance and his pen portraits especially of Mitterand Nixon and Clinton are most entertaining. The Olso process is reported in detail and this book is a must for anybody who wishes to acquaint temselves with the twisting currents of events in the Middle East. The book is obviously only an interim Report as it predates Rabins assassination. ... Read more |
