Book Title: Innocent Abroad: An Intimate Account Of American Peace Diplomacy in the Middle East

"Few diplomats have been as closely involved with the attempts to broker a peace treaty in the Middle East as Martin Indyk. Innocent Abroad [is] a fascinating book." -Dr. Henry Kissinger, former U.S. Secretary of State

Martin Indyk, Former two-time U.S. Ambassador to Israel and Assistant Secretary of State for Near East Affairs during the Clinton Administration, worked intimately with five Israeli Prime Ministers. In his gripping new book, Innocent Abroad, Ambassador Indyk draws on his many years of intense involvement in the region to provide the inside story of the last time the U.S. was engaged in sustained diplomacy to end the Arab-Israeli conflict. This book candidly reveals the obstacles that have confounded the efforts of recent presidents. Indyk's fascinating account of the Middle East peace process helps distill the lessons of past failures to chart a new way forward.
