But what drove the hawkish statesman behind Israel’s nuclear deterrence and early settlement policy to stake his political reputation on peace negotiations with the Arab world and the PLO, Israel’s sworn enemy?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this insider’s account, written by Avi Gil, Peres’s close confidant over almost 30 years, we witness firsthand the tense moments during the historic Oslo talks, kept under the strictest secrecy, when the explosive revelation that Peres was directing direct communications with Yasser Arafat’s representatives for the first time threatened to leak to the press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe also see the fervent discussions and arguments between the personalities involved in the peace process, including Peres’s rivalries with the Prime Ministers he served under, such as Rabin, Sharon and Netanyahu. Although one of Peres's most trusted colleagues, Gil offers a frank assessment of his mentor, recounting his foibles and failures as consistently as he does his victories. We are shown Peres's unique energy and optimism for Israel and its Arab neighbours in his vision of a 'New Middle East'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut most valuable of all, we gain unique insight into the actual thought processes, conversations and decisions of Peres and his colleagues and adversaries as they initiated, processed, and reacted to events in real time, shedding new light on a historic period in Israeli and Middle Eastern history.
