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，安瓦爾·薩達特(Anwar Sadat)、梅赫納姆·貝京(Menachem Begin)與吉米·卡特在戴維營中度過了13天，艱苦地達成以色列與埃及之間的和平協議，這份和平協議迄今仍然是中東沖突中意義最為深遠的外交成就。懷特精彩地描述了這些會談，將歷史、政治與三個沖突的人格之間發生的引人入勝的戲劇融為一體，寫成了這個充滿陰謀轉折和黑色幽默的故事。他提醒我們，卡特富于遠見的理想主義和固執代表了一種卓越的政治勇氣。
