'Rare are the books in conflict resolution that truly engage theory to improve practice and learn from practice to improve theory. This book is a very welcome exception. This book is organized around a sense of possibility, commitment to the indefatigable work of peace, and a careful analysis of progress and set-backs over the decades. It provides all of these and from a wide range of perspectives and backgrounds. I predict it will become a handbook for the next, and hopefully this time successful, push for peace.'--Jay Rothman, The ARIA Group, Jerusalem, Israel and Yellow Springs, Ohio US
