""This is an outstanding book which will be widely read by scholars, practitioners, and generalists, and will likely appeal to a wide and perhaps even popular audience."
--Jeffrey Boutwell, Executive Director, Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs
--Abdel Monem Said Aly, Director, Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies, Cairo
--Steven L. Spiegel, Associate Director, Burkle Center for International Relations and Professor of Political Science, UCLA
--Ambassador Dore Gold, former Permanent Representative of Israel to the UN
" Track-II is about diplomacy without diplomats. The book is a serious addition to the literature on conflict resolution." --Abdel Monem Said Aly, Director, Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies, Cairo
" Regardless of one's political outlook on the Middle East, Track-II diplomacy has emerged as an important instrument for all the parties to probe firsthand the true positions of the other sides. This book is essential reading for those seeking to understand the sources of much of the news--behind-the-scenes diplomacy between Israel and the Arab world." --Ambassador Dore Gold, former Permanent Representative of Israel to the UN
" This compelling Palestinian-Israeli narrative is both superb history and a needed political primer on how Track-II diplomacy can improve the prospects for official peace negotiations. The authors draw reasonable but not overly grandiose conclusions on the potential contributions of Track-II efforts, which unfortunately are needed more than ever, and not just in the Middle East." --Jeffrey Boutwell, Executive Director, Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs
" This is an outstanding book which will be widely read by scholars, practitioners, and generalists, and will likely appeal to a wide and perhaps even popular audience. It contains wonderful insights into the behind-the-scenes contexts and discussions which have been pursued over the last several years in the Middle East. I salute the authors for their masterful accomplishment and congratulate them for the high quality of their examination." --Steven L. Spiegel, Associate Director, Burkle Center for International Relations and Professor of Political Science, UCLA
