The Arab-Israeli Conflict. Volume 4: The Difficult Search for Peace (1975-1988)

Resuming his monumental documentary series (volumes 1-3 came out in 1974 and 1977), Moore provides nearly 2,000 pages of documents covering everything from the Sinai Accords to the U.S. government decision to open a dialogue with the Palestine Liberation Organization. The editor is a professor of law and the publication is sponsored by the American Society of International Law, so it has a predictable bias in favor of legal aspects of the conflict, as well as resolutions and governmental pronouncements. But the sheer mass and diversity of the documentation is so great that even those of us skeptical about the function of international law have no grounds to complain. Moore's diligence is of great service to all those with a scholarly interest in the diplomacy of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
