Complex Dynamics of Middle East Peace Process

This week, Walter and Jeremy are on the road. So in place of regular programming, we’re bringing you something special: an extended excerpt from Walter’s most recent book, The Arc of a Covenant: The United States, Israel, and the Fate of the Jewish People.

What you’re about to hear is Chapter 16 of that book, about the history of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and where it fits in American diplomatic history and American domestic politics. If you like what you hear, which we’re certain you will, you can get the whole volume at all your finest book and audiobook sellers.

GET IT HERE: The Arc of a Covenant: The United States, Israel, and the Fate of the Jewish People by Walter Russell Mead (Vintage, 2023)
