RaveThe Washington PostMartin Indyk has written a fascinating, comprehensive and detailed study of what may be Kissinger’s most decisive and important achievement ... What really sets this book apart from other academic studies is that Indyk is a very unusual historian. In carrying out the traditional archival research in the United States and Israel, mastering the memoir and secondary literature, and conducting interviews with surviving participants, Indyk provides a precise rendering and a literal day-to-day account of Kissinger’s diplomacy in the region ... Some critics have argued that Indyk’s book is overly generous ... This critique is unfair and shortsighted ... the survival and success of Israel should be seen as one of the genuine historic accomplishments of an enlightened American diplomacy, and as Indyk makes clear, Kissinger deserves a great deal of the credit.
