Synopsis

George Mitchell knows how to bring peace to troubled regions. He was the primary architect of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement for peace in Northern Ireland. But when he served as U.S. Special Envoy for Middle East Peace from 2009 to 2011—working to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict—diplomacy did not prevail. Now, for the first time, Mitchell offers his insider account of how the Israelis and the Palestinians have progressed (and regressed) in their negotiations through the years and outlines the specific concessions each side must make to finally achieve lasting peace. This unflinching look at why the peace process has failed, and what must happen for it to succeed, is an important, essential, and valuable work.

About Alon Sachar

Alon Sachar has worked to advance Middle East peace under two U.S. administrations. He served as an adviser to the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Daniel B. Shapiro, in Tel Aviv from 2011-2012, and to President Obama's Special Envoys for Middle East Peace, George J. Mitchell and David Hale, from 2009 to 2011. In those capacities, Alon participated in negotiations with Israelis, Palestinians, and Arab states. From 2006 to 2009, he served in the State Department's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, focusing on the U.S. bilateral relationships with Israel and the Palestinians as well as Arab-Israeli relations. Alon has also worked out of the U.S. Consulate in Jerusalem, which serves as the U.S. diplomatic mission to the Palestinians. Today, Alon is a lawyer based in California, where he was born and raised.
