First sentence: THIS IS THE THIRD EDITION of a book that was first published, in the United States and Britain, in 1977, on the eve of that historic breakthrough in Middle east peace-making, the pilgrimage which President Anwar Sadat of Egypt made to Jerusalem and the first-ever peace treaty between Israel and an Arab state to which it led.
