description: Sherman (political science, Tel Aviv U.) reviews the whole issue of water in the region and the statements and position of various leaders and interests. Then focusing on the implications of the current peace initiative between Israel and the Palestinians, he demonstrates, parcel-by-parcel, how Israeli evacuation of the territory specified in the Oslo Accords would leave 70% of Israel's water supply under total Arab control. He cannot image that such a situation would lead to a tranquil future. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
