Synopsis

On just the second day of his first term, Barack Obama appointed former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell as his special envoy for Middle East peace and boldly asserted that his administration would "actively and aggressively seek a lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians." At the outset of Obama's second term, here is the first hard-hitting analysis of why the administration has entirely failed on this issue, a failure brought on in part because of Obama's wrongheaded obeisance to Israeli policy and its US advocates.

Written in a clear and accessible style by the director of a national peace organization who has also been a Middle East analyst for the Congressional Research Service, this book offers an informed history of the Obama administration's policies and maps out a progressive path forward.
