Most students of the history of Arab-Jewish relations have come to take for granted the stubborn resistance of the continuing dispute to any form of lasting and reasonable solution.

With half of this book, first published in 1986, being given over to Neil Caplan s detailed analysis and half to the collection of the original documents, the second volume in "Futile Diplomacy" provides another essential resource for the understanding of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

This book, first published in 1997, focuses on the Anglo-American cooperation which began during the relatively uneventful years 1953 and 1954, and which led to a covert operation, code-named 'Alpha', which aimed unsuccessfully at convincing Egyptian and Israeli leaders to consider a settlement through secret negotiations. As with the other three volumes that make up Futile Diplomacy, this volume comprises Dr Caplan's expert in-depth analysis with a wealth of primary source documents, making this a key reference source in the study of the Arab-Israeli conflict."
