Here, for the first time, is the complete correspondence between Israel's Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egypt's President Anwar el-Sadat as they wrestled with what would become their Nobel Peace Prize winning accomplishment. The letters, together with transcripts of speeches, press conferences, interviews, rare photos and official documents, reveal the personal relationship the two leaders constructed, which was eventually reflected in the treaty they signed. The personalities, the principled issues, the manoeuvrings, the clashes, the compromises and agreements are all revealed in these letters. Covering the period from June 1977 until a day before Sadat's assassination in October 1981, the Begin-Sadat correspondence affords a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the efforts, crises, and agonising decisions these two leaders faced and overcame to achieve peace. Supplemented with photos and the full texts of the Camp David Accords and the Israel-Egypt peace treaty, this ground-breaking volume sheds new light on a peace process that succeeded.

This book investigates the role and influence of Egyptian leadership upon foreign policy decisions by utilizing the decision-making approach. It examines two foreign policy decisions formulated by Presidents Nasser and Sadat in January 1970 and July 1972 respectively. In essence, this study endeavors to accomplish three objectives. First, it reconstructs the decision-making activities that culminated in the two decisions, so as to promote our comprehension about Egyptian foreign policy making activities that culminated in the two decisions. Second, by presenting a research framework, it seeks to shed light on the decision-making process in other developing countries. Last, it examines the causal role of the operational code beliefs as well as the psychohistorical approach to the analysis of leadership to explain decisional outcome.
