Book review: Jimmy Carter and the Middle East: the politics of presidential diplomacy by Daniel Strieff

In Jimmy Carter and the Middle East: The Politics of Presidential Diplomacy, Daniel Strieff seeks to reappraise Carter’s perceived role as a peacemaker in the Middle East during his presidency. While suggesting that the book overstates its critique of Carter’s compromises during this period, Jeff Roquen particularly welcomes the volume’s engagement with the impact of the US media on public perceptions of the ‘Palestinian Question’.
