Published by Cambridge University Press in 2013, this book provides Abrams' insider account of the Bush administration's Israeli-Palestinian policy. It covers his interactions with Sharon, Olmert, Abbas, and Mubarak, and details the 2003 Road Map, the 2004 Bush-Sharon letter, the Gaza withdrawal, and the 2006-2007 Hamas crisis. Critics noted Abrams' account omitted his role in the covert Fatah arming plan exposed by David Rose's Vanity Fair investigation.
