review 1: I participated in a professional development course at JCLAM about the Camp David Accords last year. We got to meet President Carter and ask hm questions about the event and peace process. This book does a good job of going into the detail and captured the drama behind those days. I was glad to see the background information about the other leaders included to give us a real sense of the emotions that guided all these men. It was a very balanced book that pointed our the flaws and strengths of each of these men. Highly recommended.
review 2: Disappointing, but perhaps this says more about my expectations than about the book itself. Lawrence Wright wrote an excellent book about the pre-history to the attacks on September 11. This book isn't half as good. It's ... moreprobably too lengthy, seems to plod along and seems to miss a lot of important regional context. I imagine the play he originally wrote (this book is based on the research he conducted while writing it) is probably entertaining as a study of character, but this reimagination of the events of those thirteen days left me cold. Don't bother reading it. less
