Wright reminds us that Carter's Camp David was an act of surpassing political courage.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWright 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. \u003ci\u003eThirteen Days in September\u003c\/i\u003e is a timely revisiting of this diplomatic triumph and an inside look at how peace is made.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lawrence Wright\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804170029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804170024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/17\/2015 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Century\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/10\/2015 pg. 36","brand":"Lawrence Wright","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926208479487,"sku":"9780804170024","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_21a140f3-fa1c-4acc-b474-df465a88b83f.jpg?v=1681081800","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thirteen-days-in-september-lawrence-wright-9780804170024","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
