The Life and Death of the "Two-State" Solution

by Mark Bruzonsky and Hisham Ahmed

PREVIEW SAMPLE    In this book, the convoluted, complicated, much distorted, and ultimately tragic history of the “Two-State Solution” is chronicled by two unusual special friends—one an American Jew the other a Palestinian refugee—each of whom has had considerable personal involvement and experience working with the most senior Jewish and Palestinian leaders in trying to bring it about.  But this is not a history book.   It is in fact a book extremely relevant to the moment as the new/old American government, led by Joe Biden, has come into office immediately proclaiming adherence once again to the “Two-State Solution”.   In collaboration and dialogue with each other, Bruzonsky and Ahmed provide a uniquely insightful book that should be of considerable interest to everyone concerned about the “Two-State Solution” from inception to demise, whatever one’s view of the present, whatever one’s outlook about the present and expectations for the future.    

"Mark Bruzonsky and Hisham Ahmed have produced the definitive account of how the two-state approach arose, flourished as the centerpiece of international hopes for peace between these antagonists, then fell out of favor as unattainable. The book is written in an engaging dialogic form, and gives us an objective and highly informative analysis that everyone who seeks to understand the future of Middle East peace diplomacy will want to read.  It can kindle a much needed national debate."

Introduction by Mark Bruzonsky

 "Extraordinary ability to distill legal issues into human terms."

    "So many of the great moral issues of the 20th century seem clear in retrospect,
    but were quite controversial at the time. He had the moral courage to go against
    his race, his class, his social circle.”
