Palestine, DC is drafted, and I hope to have it done within the next year.
Keep checking back here, or sign up for my blog, where I will update readers about the status of the project.
Here is a tentative list of chapter titles:
One: Hamas Wins Two: The Siege Three: The Halls of Power Four: Assault on Lebanon Five: Censored, Maligned, Denied Six: Return to Palestine... and to Myself
The lessons I learned in Washington -- about human psychology, institutional inertia, and how frighteningly little most so-called 'experts' know about the Middle East -- are some of the most important and actionable things I've ever learned. I look forward to passing them on to you.
The book ends in late 2007, which I suppose means my next Palestine book will have to get people caught up to the present. So much happens, and nobody strings it all together into a compelling and readable narrative. Most journalism, when it's not outright disinformation, offers only disconnected bits and pieces. The whole thing has a rhythm and narrative to it that gets lost.
