Princeton : Princeton University Press, 2010: “Palestine Peace Not Apartheid is a challenging, provocative, and courageous book…” “…Is the world destined to suffer endless cycles of conflict and war?

How Enemies Become Friends provides a bold and innovative account of how nations escape geopolitical competition and replace hostility with friendship.
