DESC: Selected by President Clinton to lead the United States team in the difficult effort to broker a peace agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians, Dennis Ross was the central figure in day-to-day meetings and general strategy of a decade-long effort which ultimately fell apart. In THE MISSING PEACE, Ross offers his insider account of the road from Madrid to Oslo, with portraits of the major players such as Clinton, Netanyahu, Barak, Arafat, and others, and he offers his analysis of the high-stakes gamesmanship by all sides. A New York Times Notable Book for 2004.
