Tracing policy since the Six Day War of 1967, three Israeli insiders provide a behind-the-scenes, in-depth investigation of how the Israeli government failed in its rule of Jerusalem, exacerbating the inequities between Arabs in east Jerusalem and their Jewish and Christian neighbors in west Jerusalem. The authors claim their intention is not to publicize the dirty laundry of Israeli rule but to bring to focus the mistakes of the past in order to help build a better future.

"Given their high-level access to key municipal and Israeli decision-makers, the authors succeed in exposing the horrific lengths to which the Israeli government went to prevent the re-division of Jerusalem and preserve its status as the united and eternal capital of Israel. But they fail to explain in any detail the reasons underpinning the Israeli position and tend not to apportion any blame whatsoever to the actions of Jerusalem's Arab inhabitants."
