impasses...revealing the history of this former film noir through
interviews with the men who were its lead actors." —Le Monde
From Ariel Sharon''s ascent to power in February 2001 to the
Israel-Lebanon conflict in July 2006, the Middle East has seen the
most murderous years of a feud which is, today, half a century old.
After the monumental convergence of powers at Camp David, the world
watched with bated breath as hope for a peaceful resolution to the
long, bitter dispute between Israel and Palestine was lost in the
wake of the Intifada. Following years of searching for an end to
the bloodshed, how did the tragic blindness of both parties throw
this region into such chaos?
In The Lost Years, Charles Enderlin presents a scrupulous chronicle
of the Israeli and Palestinian descent into hell. Political leaders
and secret negotiators, military chiefs and CIA agents, Enderlin
has met them all–Israelis and Palestinians–and he accounts for all
sides, including U.S. and international involvement. He trails the
bad political calculations of the Palestinians, which led to the
defeat of Fatah and to the victory of the Islamists. And he exposes
Israel''s unilateral political approach and new military doctrines
that had disastrous consequences for both camps. Intifada,
September 11th, war in Iraq, the construction of the wall, the
withdrawal from Gaza, the end of the reigns of the two old
enemies–Arafat and Sharon–the electoral victory of Hamas, and the
war in Lebanon; Enderlin reveals the implacable logic at work
behind the crucial events of a confused period. The Lost Years, the
sequel to Enderlin''s bestselling book, Shattered Dreams, is an
essential work for those who try to understand without judging, but
still want to believe in peace.
