"Unlike other studies ... this book accentuates the shifting powers from the Arab League to Arab summitry as an instrument of regional dialogue ... This is the best book yet written on inter-Arab alignments, the historical drift of Arab summitry, the fading of Pan-Arabism since the 1967 war, and the evolution toward Middle East peace." - American Historical Review "...an excellent book ... meticulously detailed and documented..." - SHOFAR "This is an extremely complete account of the public record of the diplomatic history of the Arab world with regard to Israel and inter-Arab conflict. It's meticulous in its presentation of the available record regarding the historical drift of Arab summitry." - Ellis Goldberg, University of Washington
