Negative Positive
Title: A perfect read in 2006
Review: This book is entertaining even on such a somber subject. In light of the recent PBS Frontline special on the recent election in Israel and on the stunning reversal of the newly elected leader with even Sharon (before his coma)on returning occupied territories the book is right on for understanding today. This book explains it all from an insider of sorts. Cramer gives us examples from his own reporter type interviews. He is Jewish yet seems to empathize with both the Palestinian and Jewish sides. It is not meant to be a scholarly history(although he does document who he is talking to) it is like a conversation with a friendly knowledgeable insider and has answered "what were they thinking and why?" on the sometimes, to me, unexplainable positions and actions of today. It was a fast and interesting very interesting read.
Is the review positive or negative?
