Part Two of 'Jerusalem 1977-2027 ... The Trilogy. Quest for a Just Peace' chronicles a year of exploring and working in Israel, Palestine, and the Sinai - with Jerusalem the axis. The story centres on meeting local inhabitants and visiting extraordinary environments. These interactions celebrate the characters' lives and convictions, and pivots on the prospects for peace and understanding from the peoples prevailing upon that land.
Travels and work ensue via: kibbutz living; northern Israel and the Lebanon and Syria borders; the West Bank/Occupied Palestine; Eilat verve; the mystical/improbable/expansive magnificence of the mighty Sinai; the Dead Sea region and Hebron - of course returning often to Jerusalem, The Eternal City.
Stalwart characters share the dynamics and the issues of: displacement; political-national dispossession and conflict; Palestinian nationhood and resistance; the historic visit of Egyptian President Sadat; the emergence of Peace Now; cross cultural-political interests - and of Jerusalem, The City of Peace, with defiance and hope.
