- Summary:
- Will the flames of war in the Middle East be fanned or quenched by water? This is the central question addressed by this unusually forthright book. It is a question that is becoming increasingly pertinent and pressing -- especially in the climatically parched and political volatile realities of the region. Leaders across the Middle East -- including those considered to be among the most moderate -- have warned that water, more than any other issue, is liable to drive their countries to war. The book provides sobering analyses of Israel's water predicament and of the hydro-political implications for the country, particularly in the light of recent developments in the "peace process".
