"Winner of the BAJS Book Prize, British Association for Jewish
Studies"
"This splendid book by a young American Jewish scholar is the
product of an early emotional and intellectual transformation . . .
His combination of original research and personal fearlessness has
produced one of the most compelling works of political and
diplomatic history I have ever read . . . Anziska has made a major
contribution to the history of this conflict."---Charles Kaiser,
The Guardian
"[A] deeply researched book…. With access to declassified memos and
documents scattered around the world by a succession of shattered
peace processes, [Anziska] pieces together a single moment in which
the seeds for a diminished Palestinian state were laid."---Mehul
Srivastava, Financial Times
"A deeply insightful and profoundly disturbing book."---James J.
Zogby, Jordan Times
"An important corrective to the conventional historiography of the
period. . . . It will benefit anyone trying to follow the path to
today's bleak impasse."---Ian Black, Middle East Centre
Blog, London School of Economics
"The book must receive the credit it deserves. Anziska did a very
good research job and has collected and pieced together an enormous
amount of information, including information derived from
newly-declassified American and Israeli records, some of which even
an avid consumer of books related to the Middle East peace process
like me has not previously seen."---Joel Singer, Fathom
"Preventing Palestine is a powerful and at times shocking book that
sets the new standard for future work on the peace process after
1975. It is indispensable reading for all students of U.S.-Middle
East relations and the history of the Arab Israeli
conflict."---Paul Thomas, H-Diplo
"Preventing Palestine is a fine work of revisionist historiography
on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its evolution."---Lorena De
Vita, Diplomatica
"Preventing Palestine is an important book for its revisionist
interpretation of MiddleEast peacemaking between 1977 and
1993."---Aharon Klieman, Israel Journal of Foreign Affairs
