Peace Out of Reach : Middle Eastern Travels and the Search for Reconciliation Hardback

Turmoil in the Middle East has escalated to unprecedented levels in the twenty-first century.

Opposing cultural, religious, and political forces have resumed old conflicts and spawned new ones, fighting with words and images as well as bombs and bullets.

The path toward peace and reconciliation seems further away and less clear than ever.

Stephen Eric Bronner's Peace Out of Reach is both a deeply personal account and a careful analysis of the crises currently threatening the cradle of civilization.

Bronner's insights into Middle Eastern tensions are significantly enhanced by his extensive travels in the region.

Equally informed by scholarly research and conscientious engagement, Bronner critically evaluates the motivations and actions of the powerful players on the Middle Eastern stage.

Peace Out of Reach challenges policymakers to build bridges, recognize common interests, foster genuine diplomacy, and seek realistically navigable roads to lasting peace, rather than resort to propaganda, threats, and military actions.
