What: "Scars of War, Wounds of Peace: The Israeli-Arab Tragedy"

Who: Shlomo Ben-Ami, Former Foreign Minister of Israel; former
Minister of Public Security; Israel's former Ambassador to Spain; and
chief Israeli negotiator at the Camp David summit

Event: As a distinguished historian and a vital participant in peace
negotiations, Shlomo Ben-Ami combines a scholar's balanced
perspective with his own experience in describing the historical and
cultural reasons why peace in the Middle East is so heartbreakingly
elusive. In his new book, Scars of War, Wounds of Peace, Ben-Ami
tells the story of the powerful trends in Israel both before and
after the 1967 war and traces the missteps of the Israeli and
Palestinian political systems. He believes in creating an
international mandate in the Palestinian territories that would lead
to the implementation of Clinton's two-state peace parameters.
