Innocent Abroad: An Intimate Account of American Peace Diplomacy in the Middle East

$14- $17

Presented by the 15^th Annual Jewish Book Fair, co-sponsored by the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice and T.E.A.M.

In this insightful history and poignant memoir, two-time U.S. Ambassador to Israel and Clinton administration advisor Martin Indyk takes us inside the Oval Office, the Situation Room, Arab palaces and Israeli offices, and demonstrates how Americans fail to grasp Middle Eastern leaders’ thought processes. Indyk attributes the failure of previous peace efforts to a combination of Palestinian dysfunction, violence and terror, Israeli politics, Arab resistance to change, and American naiveté and idealism.

A book signing will follow.  Admission is $14 for members of the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center and $17 for non-members. To reserve your tickets, go to http://sdcjc.lfjcc.org/sdjbf/2009/.

This event will take place at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center, JACOBS FAMILY CAMPUS, 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla, CA 92037
