In this urgent, balanced, and passionate book, Nobel Peace Laureate and former President Jimmy Carter argues that the present moment is a unique time for achieving peace in the Middle East—and he offers a bold and comprehensive plan to do just that.
President Carter has been a student of the biblical Holy Land all his life. For the last three decades, as president of the United States and as founder of The Carter Center, he has studied the complex and interrelated issues of the region's conflicts and has been actively involved in reconciling them. He knows the leaders of all factions in the region who will need to play key roles, and he sees encouraging signs among them.

Carter describes the history of previous peace efforts and why they fell short. He argues persuasively that the road to a peace agreement is now open and that it has broad international and regional support. Most of all, since there will be no progress without courageous and sustained U.S. leadership, he says the time for progress is now.

This is President Carter's call for action, and he lays out a practical and doable path to peace.

      Jimmy Carter's credentials for opining about the Holy Land come from his 33 years of peacekeeping efforts in the region. Until the present day he has known and worked with all the Arab and Israeli leaders involved in the conflicts and settlements. Carter shares a unexpected revelation early on--that he had a bias toward Israel. In his own familiar voice, he recounts many of his intimate conversations with the famous principals and describes how they affected his thinking. Should one tell a former president of the United Staes that he speaks too fast and is sometimes hard to understand? No, and we won't. Rather, we will say what a privilege his followers will enjoy hearing such a great statesman and Nobel Prize winner read his own audiobook. J.A.H. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

      The former president’s audio edition of his latest title has an enhanced CD featuring downloadable, helpful maps and relevant historical documents. The maps, in particular, add valuable context and demonstrate the volatile overlapping of cultures and faiths in a relatively small sliver of land. As an added bonus, the package also contains a sample CD from Bringing Peace to a Changing World
      , the third volume in Carter’s acclaimed Sunday Mornings in Plains
      Bible study series. Perhaps comparing a straightup audio book adaptation with recordings of Carter in a dynamic and spontaneous teaching environment is unfair, but listeners will notice the stark contrast between Carter’s competent but stilted delivery in We Can Have Peace
      and the animated and engaging speaking style of Sunday Mornings in Plains
      . A Simon & Schuster hardcover (reviewed online).
