148 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Newman has taken a subject that has spanned decades and caused grave problems to all concerned, namely the Middle East, and offers a unique solution to the conflict there. First, he gives us a comprehensive view of the entire area; the historical and the political background of the Middle East, including the negative part that Britain's colonial past played in creating the conflict we have today. Then he shows how the situation has been exacerbated by those who stand to profit from its continuation. By including his unpublished text, verbatim, from 1994, he successfully demonstrates how little has changed in the intervening years. Then he offers a vision of how things could be, of how they ought to be for all concerned. Newman notes how young the population of the Palestinians is, notes the prevalence and ubiquity of the information age, and claims that prosperity and a future for Palestinians will be as important to them as it is to us. He further points out that without security, prosperity is a vain hope. Security for the whole area is what is needed. Last, he offers a daring and unique way to get there. It would provide the security, for both sides, needed to have a lasting peace in the Middle East.
