Washington, DC: Five and Ten Press Inc., 2005. First Edition [stated], Limited Edition of 600 copies [stated]. Trade paperback. [4], 105, [3] pages. John V Whitbeck is an international lawyer who has advised the Palestinian negotiating team in negotiations with Israel. Since 1988, the author's articles on behalf of Middle East peace have been published more than 450 times in more than 70 different Arab, Israeli, and international newspapers, magazines, journals, and books, including, in the American press, in the Chicago Tribune, the Christian Science Monitor, the Dallas Morning News, the International Herald Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, Middle East Insight, Middle East Policy, the Nation, the Washington Post, the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, and the Washington Times. This volume contains all of his articles published during the period from the assumption of power by George W. Bush and Ariel Sharon in early 2001 through the end of 2004, preceded by two reminders of a far more optimistic era--late publications of his "Two States, One Holy Land" framework for peace, and his "condominium solution" for sharing Jerusalem in a context of peace and reconciliation. The themes stress the author's imaginative solutions to this problem first explained in the essays "Two States, One Holy Land" and "Sharing Jerusalem: The Condominium Solution." Later essays examine the issue of terrorism. More
