Author Talk with Jonathan Schanzer

In his book State of Failure, Jonathan Schanzer, a renowned expert on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, contends that focus on Israel as the sole source of roadblock to an independent Palestinian state is far too simplistic. With unparalleled access to key players in the conflict, Schanzer argues that the political dysfunction of the Palestinian Authority is the true threat to Palestinian independence, and that changes led by the U.S. and Europe can be made to right the Palestinian ship.
