CARTER REVEALS MORE ABOUT HIMSELF THAN MIDEAST THE BLOOD OF ABRAHAM BY JIMMY CARTER HOUGHTON MIFFLIN, 257 PAGES, $15.95
1985
Overview
In \"The Blood of Abraham,\" Jimmy Carter writes of the Arab-Israeli peace process, in which he was involved both during and after his White House years. It reveals more about him than the Middle East. It is not that Carter lacks an intellectual grasp. Thankfully, he abjures the slogans that dominate so much of the thinking about the Middle East. But the book contains no new insights and little that Carter did not already reveal in his earlier memoir, \"Keeping Faith.\" The book affirms Carter's moral and religious commitment to peace, but his ideas have no connection to any body of strategic thought or political ideals. The answer is, first of all, that he received a great deal of help from Anwar Sadat, the president of Egypt, who broke the Middle East deadlock by making an offer that Menachem Begin, the Israeli prime minister, could not refuse. Carter seized the opportunity to serve as intermediary, did not hesitate to use his power to advance the ensuing negotiations and refused to let them be derailed by domestic political considerations. For that, he deserves all the credit he has received.
