This study shows the promise of Israeli-Palestinian peace from the perspective of former combatants who transform themselves, each other, and those around them through moral conviction and action that reclaims the dignity of both peoples.This study shows the promise of Israeli-Palestinian peace from the perspective of former combatants who transform themselves, each other, and those around them through moral conviction and action that reclaims the dignity of both peoples.

"A lasting two-state peace between Israel and Palestine will not come from more top-down 'peace processes.' Desperately needed are efforts by both peoples together to transform a deeply entrenched culture of conflict into a popular culture of peace. Only such grassroots efforts can overcome the traumatization of both societies and oblige their leaders to make peace. This is the message in Donna Perry's fine book, documented by the words of Israeli and Palestinian participants. The transcendent moral courage, humanity and integrity of these former enemies offer hope that reconciliation and peace are possible." - Philip C. Wilcox, Jr., former U.S. consul general, Jerusalem and president, Foundation for Middle East Peace
