The Blood of Abraham: Insights into the Middle East

Since his earliest days in the White House, Jimmy Carter has demonstrated an untiring passion for pursuing peace in the Middle East. His formation of the Carter Center and his continuing prominent role in world affairs has done nothing to dampen that passion. In this new edition with an updated afterword and chronology, President Carter demystifies the history of the political expectations of each nation in the Middle East, the reasons for their different goals, and the nature of their prime concerns. His landmark study provides an enlightened and reconciling vision for all--Jews, Muslims, and Christians--who share the blood of Abraham.

Jimmy Carter, the thirty-ninth president of the United States, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his time as president and his work through the Carter Center, which seeks to prevent and resolve conflicts, enhance freedom and democracy, and improve health around the world.
