New York Council on Foreign Relations Press 1997 First printing [stated] Trade paperback Good. No dust jacket as issued. Minor damp staining and page impact at top and fore edges. xvi, 232 p. Maps. Figures. Tables. Notes. Bibliographical Essay. Index. Preface by Rita E. Hauser. Foreword by Rami Khouri. This timely book offers a blueprint for resolving what is often called the most intractable--if not taboo--subject in the Arab-Israeli peace negotiations: a just and permanent solution to the problem of over 3 million Palestinian refugees.
