Thirteen Days in September The Dramatic Story of the Struggle for Peace
From the Pulitzer Prizeāwinning author of The Looming Towerāa timely revisiting of a diplomatic triumph between two Middle East nations and an inside look at how peace is made. ā¢ āMasterlyā¦. Magnificentā¦. Wright reminds us that Carterās Camp David was an act of surpassing political courage.ā āThe New York Times Book Review
In September 1978, three world leadersāMenachem Begin of Israel, Anwar Sadat of Egypt, and U.S. president Jimmy Carterāmet at Camp David to broker a peace agreement between the two Middle East nations. During the thirteen-day conference, Begin and Sadat got into screaming matches and had to be physically separated; both attempted to walk away multiple times. Yet, by the end, a treaty had been forgedāone that has quietly stood for more than three decades, proving that peace in the Middle East is possible.
Wright combines politics, scripture, and the participantsā personal histories into a compelling narrative of the fragile peace process. Begin was an Orthodox Jew whose parents had perished in the Holocaust; Sadat was a pious Muslim inspired since boyhood by stories of martyrdom; Carter, who knew the Bible by heart, was driven by his faith to pursue a treaty, even as his advisers warned him of the political cost. Wright reveals an extraordinary moment of lifelong enemies working togetherāand the profound difficulties inherent in the process. Thirteen Days in September is a timely revisiting of this diplomatic triumph and an inside look at how peace is made.
