<p class="head1">The Enemy Has a Face<br>
The Seeds of Peace Experience</p>
<p class="text"><b>John Wallach</b></p>
<p class="text">“I commend the United States Institute of Peace
for publishing <i>The Enemy Has a Face</i>— an outstanding
volume that illustrates the importance of promoting open dialogue
and reconciliation between Arab and Israeli youth.”<b>—Ehud
Barak, Prime Minister of Israel</b></p>
<p class="text">“As the elder generations strive towards the
goal of a complete Middle East peace, we are inspired by the Seeds
of Peace youngsters who embrace this goal with unbridled determination,
courage, and energy. <i>The Enemy Has a Face</i> vividly describes
just how the Seeds of Peace program and today’s teenagers pave
the way to a more peaceful world.”<br>
<b>—His Majesty King Abdullah II</b></p>
<p class="text">“<i>The Enemy Has a Face</i> is a superb book
describing one of the most important experiments of people-to-people
reconciliation involving Arabs and Israelis. Under the visionary
leadership of John Wallach, the Seeds of Peace program has done
what official peace agreements cannot do on their own: prepare a
new generation of young people for a life of peaceful coexistence.
Every one interested in a lasting Arab-Israeli peace should read
this book.”<br>
<b>—Dr. Jehan Sadat</b></p>
<p class="text">“As peace begins to take root in the Middle East,
Israelis and Palestinians will have to learn to speak the language
of coexistence. <i>The Enemy Has a Face</i> teaches the essential
elements of that grammar and makes an important contribution to
a lasting resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict.”<br>
<b>—Dr. Henry Kissinger</b></p>
<p class="text">Every summer since 1993, the woods of Maine have witnessed
a remarkable attempt to plant the idea of peace in the hearts and
minds of the next generation of Middle East leaders. For three weeks,
300 Arab and Israeli teenagers leave behind the violence and hatred
ingrained in their homelands to meet their “enemies” face
to face. At times it’s an emotionally wrenching process, but
it can produce surprising friendships and an enduring belief in
coexistence.</p>
<p class="text">Seeds of Peace makes the most of the adaptability
and enthusiasm of youth, creating a secure environment in which
teenagers—supported by trained counselors—can dare to
argue with and play alongside one another, to challenge preconceptions,
and to envisage a peaceful Middle East. The author vividly describes
the camp experience and follows the youngsters’ return home,
where despite criticism from friends and families many of them continue
to promote Arab-Israeli coexistence.</p>
<p class="text">This highly engaging and accessible account of peacemaking
in action also includes photographs and feature boxes that help
bring alive the complex issues involved.</p>
