Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid

non-fiction by Jimmy Carter

Blurb

Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid is a New York Times Best Seller book written by Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States and laureate of the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize. It was published by Simon and Schuster in November 2006.
During his presidency, Carter hosted talks between Menachem Begin of Israel and Anwar Sadat of Egypt that led to the Egypt–Israel Peace Treaty. In this book Carter argues that Israel's continued control and colonization of Palestinian land have been the primary obstacles to a comprehensive peace agreement in the Middle East. That perspective, coupled with Apartheid in the titular phrase Peace Not Apartheid and allegations of errors and misstatements in the book, sparked criticism. Carter has defended his book and countered that response to it "in the real world…has been overwhelmingly positive."
The documentary, "Jimmy Carter Man from Plains", explores the former president's post–White House role in the Palestine-Israel conflict.
