'In this book, John Quigley continues to champion the Palestinian cause. He has labored mightily for right in a field where the very same diplomacy that he describes has made it impossible for even those with the best intentions to advance basic legal and human rights for the Palestinian people.' M. Cherif Bassiouni, Emeritus Professor of Law, DePaul University 'Quigley shows that throughout the history of Israel, its leaders have given the international community false assurances and falsified facts, and that many of Israel's diplomatic achievements are the result of this deception.' John Dugard, Former UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory 'John Quigley's book, which covers the period from around 1900 to 1967, is an informative survey of Zionist-Israeli diplomatic practice ...'
