Notes

Summary: "Based on newly declassified documents, this book offers a provocative new analysis of President Jimmy Carter's political role in Arab-Israeli diplomacy. It sets forth a novel analysis of the reflexive relationship between domestic politics and foreign policy, especially the role the American Jewish community and pro-Israel lobby groups like AIPAC played in the development and promulgation of Carter's Arab-Israeli policy. As Carter became directly involved in fostering an Egyptian-Israeli dialogue, the Camp David Accords, the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty, and the beginning of Palestinian autonomy talks, his positions grew intertwined with U.S. politics. This dynamic is not unique in American history, but in Carter's term it exerted unprecedented influence both on Arab-Israeli policy and his domestic standing. The insights revealed by this new research shed a revealing light on current issues with the American political process and the Middle East"-- Provided by publisher
