Seated between iraq and israel
Rick Richman pays tribute the Irish diplomat and scholar Conor Cruise O'Brien. He notes Martin Peretz's observation that the NYT in its obituary doesn't make mention of his book, "The Siege."
O'Brien was a contributor to The Atlantic, and that magazine has an extensive excerpt of the book online called Why Israel can't take 'bold steps' for peace. Some of it is dated. But a lot of it still stands. I don't agree with all of his observations, but it is a fine essay.
