'As former Bureau Chief and Policy Coordinator for Israeli Prime Minister Barak, Sher was intimately involved in the negotiations between the Israeli government and the Palestinian Liberation Organization from 1991 to 2001. In this work he offers his relatively detailed account of the negotiations, generally maintaining his belief in the correctness of Israeli positions and decisions during the process.' - Reference & Research Book News'The strength of his book lies not only in the framework it sets out for future peace, but also in the invaluable advice it gives to future Palestinian and Israeli negotiators.' - Louise Ellman, Labour and Co-operative MP for Liverpool Riverside and Chair of the Jewish Labour Movement'Essential Reading for the Arab-Israeli Scholar.' - Clayton E.
