In 1978, over 13 days at Camp David, Anwar Sadat, Menachem Begin and Jimmy Carter hammered out a peace agreement between Israel and Egypt that remains the most profound diplomatic achievement to emerge from the Mideast conflict. In a fascinating account of the talks, Wright combines history, politics and, most of all, a gripping drama of three clashing personalities into a tale of constant plot twists and dark humor. He reminds us that Carter’s visionary idealism and doggedness represented an act of surpassing political courage.
1978年，安瓦尔·萨达特(Anwar Sadat)、梅赫纳姆·贝京(Menachem Begin)与吉米·卡特在戴维营中度过了13天，艰苦地达成以色列与埃及之间的和平协议，这份和平协议迄今仍然是中东冲突中意义最为深远的外交成就。怀特精彩地描述了这些会谈，将历史、政治与三个冲突的人格之间发生的引人入胜的戏剧融为一体，写成了这个充满阴谋转折和黑色幽默的故事。他提醒我们，卡特富于远见的理想主义和固执代表了一种卓越的政治勇气。
