"Enderlin meticulously chronicles the political and diplomatic

impasses...revealing the history of this former film noir through

interviews with the men who were its lead actors." —Le Monde

From Ariel Sharon's ascent to power in February 2001 to the

Israel-Lebanon conflict in July 2006, the Middle East has seen the

most murderous years of a feud which is, today, half a century old.

After the monumental convergence of powers at Camp David, the world

watched with bated breath as hope for a peaceful resolution to the

long, bitter dispute between Israel and Palestine was lost in the

wake of the Intifada. Following years of searching for an end to

the bloodshed, how did the tragic blindness of both parties throw

this region into such chaos?

In The Lost Years, Charles Enderlin presents a scrupulous chronicle

of the Israeli and Palestinian descent into hell. Political leaders

and secret negotiators, military chiefs and CIA agents, Enderlin

has met them all–Israelis and Palestinians–and he accounts for all

sides, including U.S. and international involvement. He trails the

bad political calculations of the Palestinians, which led to the

defeat of Fatah and to the victory of the Islamists. And he exposes

Israel's unilateral political approach and new military doctrines

that had disastrous consequences for both camps. Intifada,

September 11th, war in Iraq, the construction of the wall, the

withdrawal from Gaza, the end of the reigns of the two old

enemies–Arafat and Sharon–the electoral victory of Hamas, and the

war in Lebanon; Enderlin reveals the implacable logic at work

behind the crucial events of a confused period. The Lost Years, the

sequel to Enderlin's bestselling book, Shattered Dreams, is an

essential work for those who try to understand without judging, but

still want to believe in peace.

"This absorbing story of the unraveling of the

Middle East and the Persian Gulf includes interviews with the

political leaders, diplomats, and intelligence agents who have

tried to avoid, or who have contributed to these failures."

Kirkus

From Enderlin, the Middle East bureau chief for France 2, a

journalistic account of the current era of troubles in Israel and

Palestine.In the author’s view, the seating of Ariel Sharon’s

government in February 2001 signaled the end of the Camp David era

of negotiation with the Palestinian government of Yasir Arafat,

undoing years of effort on the part of the Clinton administration.

Sharon declared that Arafat was an unfit partner for peace.

Although most Israelis agreed that a joint venture with the

Palestinians was essential, most also accepted that Arafat was an

enemy arguing for the destruction of Israel; worse enemies

notwithstanding, he became “Arafat the terrorist” once more. In

response to the growing intifada, Israel put new procedures in

place. “The military police no longer immediately investigated the

circumstances of a civilian death,” Enderlin charges, freeing

troops to “react more spontaneously” in the field. That

spontaneity, the journalist calculates, led to a lopsided body

count: During the next five years, some 3,185 Palestinian civilians

died in confrontations with the Israeli Defense Force, “among whom

were hundreds of bystanders.” This confrontation was inevitable,

argued Israel and its allies in the American government—most

notably, in Enderlin’s view, neoconservative theoretician Richard

Perle, then chair of Bush’s Defense Policy Board. It was

inevitable, the author agrees, to the extent that all other

possibilities but confrontation were systematically eliminated,

freezing out Arafat (who bitterly complained, “Am I bin Laden?”)

and fueling a vicious circle of rising radicalism and

intransigence. Rejecting warnings by Bush administration moderates

such as Colin Powell, the Sharon government finally decided it must

either expel Arafat from Palestine or kill him. When he died of

cancer in 2004, however, the cycle of violence continued, climaxing

with the disastrous Lebanon invasion of 2006. Enderlin urges Israel

to negotiate with the new government of Mahmoud Abbas based on the

principle of “territory for peace”—without which, he reasonably

concludes, peace will be impossible. An evenhanded view of a most

partisan conflict.

Library Journal

This French journalist, with long experience in the Middle East,

presents a detailed chronicle of the recent period of military,

diplomatic, and political conflict between Israel and the

Palestinians. He concludes that verbal commitment to mutual

recognition and negotiation by both sides could not overcome

Israeli determination for military action and unilateralism or

Palestinian ineptitude and internal divisions. Militant Palestinian

continuation of the intifada and Israeli reprisals resulted in lost

opportunities and continuing occupation and misery.
