Following his hugely bestselling, hugely controversial Palestine Peace Not Apartheid, Carter describes his lifelong personal and political commitment to Israel and to what he refers to as the Holy Land. He describes his efforts both as President and as head of the Carter Center to find a peaceful outcome between Israel and the surrounding Arab countries. Carter does not apologize for the judgments in his earlier book, but he places them in the context of his peacemaking role and his call for deep concessions on both sides.
