The Arab States and the Palestine Question: Between Ideology and Self-Interest: 120 (The Washington Papers) - Softcover

"In the kaleidoscopic relationships between the PLO and the various Arab states, both sides have appeared at various times as either allies, adversaries, or both. This is why it is so essential to understand the complex interrelationship between the Arab states and the Palestinian movement--and the use that those same states are making of the whole Palestinian operation. Dr. Aaron Miller has penetrated this labyrinth in exemplary fashion to which he has devoted extensive study. It should prove an indispensable resource for all serious students of Middle East peace efforts."-Robert G. Neumann, Former U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and Afghanistan "This volume is an excellent complement to Arthur Day's East Bank/West Bank and is useful to the serious student of Middle East policies."-Choice ?In the kaleidoscopic relationships between the PLO and the various Arab states, both sides have appeared at various times as either allies, adversaries, or both.

The focus of the present study is upon the Palestinian cause and its less than full cooperative relationship with Jordan, Syria, and Egypt. . . . This volume is an excellent complement to Arthur Day's East Bank/West Bank and is useful to the serious student of Middle East politics. Choice
