He has witnessed the dissolution of centuries of peaceful coexistence between Jews and Arabs and seen its shaky attempts at rebirth.With the peace process in its first, most delicate stage, Segev reveals the inside, unbiased story of this remarkable journey. Beginning with the first overtures to peace in Morocco in the early '70s and ending at the first year mark of Netanyahu's tenure, Segev uncovers the hidden details that made the story possible. A friend of many in Arab and Israeli leadership positions, Segev shares secret negotiations, back-channel bargaining, and initiatives that, had they come off, would have changed the world.Crossing the Jordan will take even the most knowledgeable reader from one surprise to the next in this, the first full impartial recounting of the end of a 50-year war.
