Thirteen Days in September
Book (italiano):
<p><b><b><b>ONE OF THE </b><i>NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW’ S </i><b>10 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR</b><br><b><br></b></b>One of the Best Books of the Year: <i>The Washington Post</i>, <i>The Christian Science Monitor</i>, NPR,<i>Entertainment Weekly</i>, <i>The Economist</i>, <i>The Daily Beast</i>, <i>St. Louis Post-Dispatch</i></b><br><br>In September 1978, three world leaders—Menachem Begin of Israel, Anwar Sadat of Egypt, and U.S. president Jimmy Carter—met 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 forged—one that has quietly stood for more than three decades, proving that peace in the Middle East is possible.<br>Wright combines politics, scripture, and the participants’ 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 together—and the profound difficulties inherent in the process. <i>Thirteen Days in September</i> is a timely revisiting of this diplomatic triumph and an inside look at how peace is made.</p>
