Synopsis: Between the two Arab-Israeli wars of 1967 and 1973, intense international diplomatic efforts were made to encourage Egypt and Israel to enter into negotiations and settle the Middle East conflict. The research here is the first that deals with events during this period, using materials from various archives in Washington, London and Jerusalem. Moshe Gat analyses the Egyptian and Israeli policies, with special emphasis on the politicians who shaped the political process: Golda Meir, Moshe Dayan, Gamal Abdel Nasser, Anwar Sadat, Joseph Sisco, William P. Rogers, Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon. Moreover, this study examines the Israeli decision-makers conception of military power as a tool to solve conflict; no political initiative came from the Israeli side.
