Brokering Peace: Carter’s unprecedented efforts at Camp David brought Arabs and Jews together, establishing a framework for peace in the Middle East.  See the negotiations through the eyes of the participants and witness Carter’s role in brokering peace at the landmark meetings that led to 1978’s groundbreaking agreement between Israel and Egypt.
