Jimmy Carter's Book Stirs Criticism, Complaint

Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid charts the Arab-Israeli peace process from President Carter's time in the White House in the late 1970s to present day. "I realized when I chose this title that it would be provocative," he said. "I hope it provokes people to actually read the book and to find out the facts." In the book, Carter sites failure on all sides -- the Palestinians, Israel, the U.S. -- to bring about a a peace deal. But the book is particularly critical of Israel, likening its policies in the Palestinian territories to the former policy of apartheid in South Africa.
