Title: THIS SIDE OF PEACE
Product review: I was hoping to really get something out of this book. I have studied the Middle East and the Arab/Israel conflict for 20 years. About a third of the way into it, I realized that I was reading a hard-cover edition of ...I understand that Ms. Ashrawi has a position to support. But as I read, I began to recall a quote attributed to Paul Revere about one of his associates. Following this associate giving a speech, Paul Revere said, "The more he proclaimed his honor, the faster we counted our spoons." In this case, the more Ms. Ashrawi proclaims the divine right of Arabs to land they lost in a war they started, the less credible I found her argument.Again, I was really hoping for something good here - unfortunately, this book was a major disappointment.
