"Wonderful...No book published in recent years has more lasting
relevance to our understanding of the Middle East."--Jack Miles,
"Los Angeles Book Review"
"Extraordinarily ambitious, provocative and vividly
written...Fromkin unfolds a gripping tale of diplomatic
double-dealing, military incompetence and political
upheaval."--Reid Beddow, "Washington Post Book World"
"Ambitious and splendid...An epic tale of ruin and disillusion...of
great men, their large deeds and even larger follies."--Fouad
Ajami, "The Wall Street Journal"
"[It] achieves an ideal of historical writing: its absorbing
narrative not only recounts past events but offers a useful way to
think about them....The book demands close attention and repays it.
Much of the information here was not available until recent
decades, and almost every page brings us news about a past that
troubles the present."--Naomi Bliven," The New Yorker""One of the
first books to take an effective panoramic view of what was
happening, not only in Egypt, Palestine, Turkey, and the Arab
regions of Asia but also in Afghanistan and central Asia....Readers
will come away from "A Peace to End All Peace" not only enlightened
but challenged--challenged in a way that is brought home by the
irony of the title."--"The New York Times Book Review"
