Book Description
With nearly 1,500 Broadway performances, six Tony Awards, more than three million albums sold, and five Academy Awards, The Sound of Music, based on the lives of Maria, the baron, and their singing children, is as familiar to most of us as our own family history. But much about the real-life woman and her family was left untold.
Here, Baroness Maria Augusta Trapp tells in her own beautiful, simple words the extraordinary story of her romance with the baron, their escape from Nazi-occupied Austria, and their life in America.
Now with photographs from the original edition.

Story of the Trapp Family Singers.......2007-05-08
Excellent writing--My mother has enjoying reading the book. I have enjoying reading it also.
Inspirational family.......2006-11-06
You will enjoy this true story of the "Sound of Music" family. It is both historical and charming. The family's adventures and trials will keep you turning the pages.
wholesome and heartwarming.......2006-08-18
I smile whenever I see this book on my shelf...
Picture a large, creative, talented family seated around a fireplace in the evenings--playing with dolls or whittling--while the mother reads aloud. Later, they sing together...imagine that...a family singing together for fun!
German occupied Austria in 1938...I can only envision what it would have been like. Its intriguing to see it through Maria's eyes. One of my favorite quotes in this book is: "you can't say no three times to Hitler." My second favorite quote is: "The Americans never seemed to ask, "Who are you?" but "How good are you? Let's see."
I've read this book several times, and I always enjoy it!
A Refreshing, Straightforward Story.......2006-07-01
Okay, "War and Peace" it ain't, but what it is is a charming rendering of the Trapp Family history. Told in an almost childlike voice, it was refreshing to learn about this amazing woman and her struggles to keep her family afloat during a turbulent time in the world. After hearing so much about Paris Hilton and Tori Spelling these days it was refreshing to come back to reality and see how insipid today's youth can be. Maria was a strong woman who didn't flinch in the face of adversity. I enjoyed hearing about her faith, as well, being a rather lax Catholic, my interest in my own faith has been inspired by reading her book. I enjoyed her exuberance over the simplest things and it made me appreciate everything I have. I would recommend this book to everyone...young, old, religious, atheists, etc. There is something to learn from Maria von Trapp and this delightful book now goes on my short list of "All Time Favorites". Read this book and share it with someone you love, or better yet, share it with someone you hate.
A pleasure to read and learn of the real Trapp family.......2006-04-29
The book was a joy to read, one filled with hope, love, struggle and triumph through faith and hard work. The true value is in learning how different the Trapp family's life was from the Sound of Music and quite different indeed it was.
I was unaware of just how musically gifted the family really was, how much of a struggle their early years in America were and just how deep their faith in God was throughout their lives.
I would have given it 5 stars but the tale of the romance between the Captain and Maria and their escape from Austria were brief to non-existent . I would have liked to have heard more from Maria on those chapters of their life.
On the plus side, her writing is from the heart, and filled with wonder on her part on the goodness of people wherever she went.
The path of a family who succeeded by faith, hard work and personal responsibility was a real inspiration.
Pick up this book, read their true story, and be inspired.

Interesting Book but Not All 'Facts' Correct.......2006-06-02
While I did enjoy this book for the great wealth of obscure knowledge held within its binding, I do take issue with several questions/answers that I picked out that are wrong. I believe Mr. Lang does need to do a bit more research & provide better and/or more concise wording for several of the questions/answers. History buffs of all types will certainly enjoy this book...just don't wholeheartedly and blindly believe everything you read in this book. Enjoy!
Gave Me Brain Drain, But Loved It.......2002-07-05
I must admit I am a quiz show buff, and so I really enjoyed this book of Confederate trivia. I think I slept through history class when we were learning about the Civil War, but I don't know why because this period of US history is fascinating, and books like this really do make history come alive. I think the great thing about this is that it not only looks at the military side of life, but also civilian matters such as the politicians, food shortags, taxes, etc. You don't have to have a Confederate ancestor (though I did) to enjoy this sort of book.
Civil War Fans Gotta Have This.......2002-01-13
This is probably the most enjoyable Civil War book I've bought in the past year. There are so many topics here, not just the battles and the military stuff but also all kinds of things about daily life and the politics in the South, foreign relations, just a broad spectrum. If you like questions and answers, you will like this. Otherwise, you are the Weakest Link. (Good-bye).
Thumbs up from a US history teacher.......2002-01-11
My husband and I are both big history buffs, and we've really enjoyed this collection of questions and answers about the Confederate States. I think books like this help people see that history is not boring and dry. I use some of the questions in my classes when I teach the Civil War period. This makes a great gift for men who are hard to buy for.

Book Description
"The definitive and gripping account of the sometimes exhilarating, often tortured twists and turns in the Middle East peace process, viewed from the front row by one of its major players."--Bill Clinton
The Missing Peace, published to great acclaim last year, is the most candid inside account of the Middle East peace process ever written. Dennis Ross, the chief Middle East peace negotiator in the presidential administrations of George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton, is that rare figure who is respected by all parties: Democrats and Republicans, Palestinians and Israelis, presidents and people on the street in Jerusalem, Ramallah, and Washington, D.C.
Ross recounts the peace process in detail from 1988 to the breakdown of talks in early 2001 that prompted the so-called second Intifada-and takes account of recent developments in a new afterword written for this edition. It's all here: Camp David, Oslo, Geneva, Egypt, and other summits; the assassination of Yitzak Rabin; the rise and fall of Benjamin Netanyahu; the very different characters and strategies of Rabin, Yasir Arafat, and Bill Clinton; and the first steps of the Palestinian Authority. For the first time, the backroom negotiations, the dramatic and often secretive nature of the process, and the reasons for its faltering are on display for all to see. The Missing Peace explains, as no other book has, why Middle East peace remains so elusive.
Customer Reviews:
A wonderful book.......2007-04-09
I have only read a few books on the Middle East and one other on the peace process being "Waging Peace" by Itamar Rabinovich. Dennis Ross is committed to the Midele East peace process. It is very clear that he has been at the "coal face", the one who has guided the key players in their neogotations. The book is a fantastic insight into what went on behind the scenes that were played out in the international media. Apart from a blow-by-blow description that would appeal to any history student focused on the Palesinian-Israeli peace process, there are a number of reasons why anybody vaguely interested in this subject would enjoy this book: (1) It is a thriller! The expression "truth stranger than fiction" tales on true meaning as this book is like a "cannot put down" suspense novel. (2) The story of the peace process is recorded in great detail (3) Ross gives us hope that somewhere in the distant future the Palestinian-Israel issue can be resolved. Anybody reading this book will learn a great deal about what the truth is in the Israeli-Palestinian tragedy. I loved this book and read most of it, certainly 550 out of 800 pages, over the Easter weekend. This is a great book and is written in elegant style. Read the Publishers' Week and Washington Post reviews but buy this book even if it is from Amazon Marketplace, It is a "must have" and a gripping, cannot put down book to read
Detailed view of a 12 year negotiation.......2007-03-15
This is no survey book - Dennis Ross takes the reader into the darkest details of 12 years of peace negotiations between the Israelis and their neighbors. What almost happened with Syria? Why'd it fall apart? Who really cares about 400 yards of borders? What deal fell apart between the Israelis and Arafat? Who does Clinton blame? When were the Israelis at fault? The book covers the broad themes as well as how the participants willingly and unwittingly push each other's buttons, and balance external attempts for peace with internal political tactics.
This differs from other books on the Middle East in several ways: It's written by a participant, but not the senior-most politician. As such, you get working level ins and outs of the negotiations, the participants and the low level details. This isn't a book written to advance a political career or push one side or the other - it's about negotiation as a hard detailed process.
The book's neither perfect, nor for everyone, but for someone willing to devote time understanding the Middle East, it's a fantastic primary source. For that, it deserves 5 stars in my eyes.
A Must to understanding the Middle East.......2006-12-15
Athough 800 plus pages, it is a gripping book, which unveils the complexity and personnal influence of it's main figures. How chances are missed, and the consequenses that the everyday person in the involved countries has to live with.
How the Peace Was Lost.......2006-07-31
There are two quips by former Israeli Foreign Secretary Abba Eben, that seem appropriate to reflect upon whenever one discusses the Israeli-Arab attempts at peace negotiations "The Arabs" Mr. Eben had famously said "Never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity". The Israeli government, on the other hand "only does the right thing after having exhausted every other possibility"
"The Missing Peace" is the frustrating but illuminating memoir of the Dennis Ross, the Chief American negotiator in the Israeli-Arab peace process. Ross's book is an exhaustive record of Ross's schedule: No meeting is too trivial to recount, no quarrel too tiresome to include, no thought too minor to mention.
Ross's focus is squarely on the Israeli- Arab negotiations, and specifically the Israeli-Palestinian and Israeli-Syrian meetings (with the Jordanians guest starring for one chapter, and the Egyptians, Saudis and Moroccans making sporadic appearances). If you are looking for a comprehensive treatment of Israeli-Arab relationships, or the Peace Process in the 1990s, look elsewhere: This is squarely about the meetings, negotiations, and tactics. Worst still, because the US had only a limited role in the Oslo accords, the very start of the historic process between Israelis and the Palestinian Liberation Organization is under reported.
In his conclusion, Ross concedes that "negotiations do not take place in a vacuum" and that the broader picture, and the Israeli and Palestinian publics have to be considered. But Ross's book fails to include them; We get amazingly little about some of the major players in this drama: Israeli Refusniks, Palestinian Militants, and Oslo Skeptics generally. Given Ross's friendship with Natan Sheransky, then leader of Israel's Center-right Israel Ba'alyah Party, it's astounding how little insight we get into him, or anyone else not intimately involved in the negotiations. Even events that had major effects on the negotiations, such as the construction in Har Homa, are explained in the context of the negotiations only, and not in a wider context.
Within the process itself, Ross's approach is remarkably free of analysis. The main feature of the Oslo accords was its piecemeal construction - instead of coming up with a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian predicament, the architects of Oslo conceived a series of steps, spreading over years, between the initial signing and the final accords. The idea was to get the Israelis and Palestinians used to working together; In hindsight, that clearly failed. The obvious shortfall was that, if the process was to collapse in some point, a heavily armed Palestinian Authority would inevitably clash with the Israelis, leading to many casualties on both sides. Since that is exactly what happened, some meditation about the original decision is in order, but Ross offers none, save for Rabin's assertion that this piecemeal progress was as far as the Israeli public was ready to go at the time.
Sometimes, Ross's narrative demonstrated how amazingly incompetent the people who run the world are: Israeli premier Rabin and Syrian President Asad talked past each other regarding the meaning of "Full withdrawal" for about a year. Later, Benjamin Netanyahu's envoy to the Asad, Ron Lauder, actively deceived the following Israeli Premier Ehud Barak, and the Americans, regarding the agreements reached with Asad. Palestinian Chairman Arafat meanwhile, was childish and prune to fantasies; in one of the worst, he insisted that the Ancient Jewish temple was in Nablus, not Jerusalem (p. 718).
To summarize an 800 odd word book in a several paragraphs: the bottom line in the Israeli-Syrian negotiations was that Israelis and Syrians were out of Sync. Barak's mood about a summit meeting with Syrian Foreign Minister Shara swinged sharply. By the time he became committed to a deal, the Syrians were uninterested.
With the Palestinians, the fixing the blame is both simpler and more complicated: Ross clearly sees Arafat as "not up to ending the conflict" (p. 756). It's hard to argue against that position; in the end, Barak went further then anyone could have expected. Saudi Prince Bandar told Ross "If Arafat does not accept what is available now, it won't be a tragedy, it will be a crime" (p. 748).
Reading Ross's account, I became more convinced in my earlier conviction that the main fault in the fall of the Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process lies with Israeli Premier Ehud Barak. Barak went far (one of the surprises I had was that he probably went too far - most Palestinians would have settled for less, p. 719), truly striving for peace, and Clinton accommodated him in bringing all pressure on Arafat to accept or offer a reasonable counter proposal - but since Arafat could not make peace with the Israelis, all this effort was in naught. Although Ross does not necessarily accepts the thesis that Arafat was behind the outbreak of the 2000 al Aqsa Intifada, he clearly did nothing to prevent it. By all accounts, Arafat, feeling the pressure on him, released it in the only was he could: through violence.
But there were those on the Arab Side, principally current President Mahmoud Abbas and Ahmed Qurei, who genuinely strived for peace. Arafat could not have lived for ever - why not wait for the next generation of Palestinian leaders and make the deal with them? Ross argues that the Israelis and the Americans had to find out whether Arafat had it in him to deliver (pp 767-769). Fine, but they needed a contingency plan in case he did not. Alas, Barak and the Americans had none. Instead of probing whether Arafat was capable of making a final deal, they pressured him as hard as they could, forcing him to chose between Peace and War. Arafat, who never liked to be forced to make choices such as these, was forced to make it. Six years and thousands of casualties later, we are still paying the price for Barak's hubris.
Essential reading on the Middle East conflict.......2006-04-26
Dennis Ross is one of those guys who's never in the forground of the photograph, except when it's not on the front page of the paper. He's the guy in the background somewhere, looking a little unsure of himself in the flash of the cameras and so forth, unused to the attention and not running for office. He's also one of the guys who get things done, when things get done. He spent a decaded and a half in government (1986-2001) and spent most of that time trying to negotiate peace between the various Arab factions and nations on the one hand and Israel on the other. Jordan recognized Israel during that time, and signed a peace treaty, but other than that Ross has little to show for about 12 years of hard work. Frankly, having read this book, it's hard not to conclude that all his work and dedication deserved a better fate than the one the received.
Ross spent two years on Vice President George H.W. Bush's National Security team, then planned to return to academe. The Bush people had other ideas, though, and hired this life-long Democrat (he volunteered for George McGovern!) to work in James Baker's State Department. Three years later, when Bush was running for reelection, Ross followed his boss Baker into Bush's White House and helped with the campaign. When Bush was defeated by Bill Clinton, Ross again packed his bags for a return to the private sector, but Clinton surprised everyone by insisting on hiring him as a special envoy to the Middle East, and he held that post for the eight years Clinton was in office. He left his post at the end of the Clinton administration.
During his tenure, he negotiated with five Israeli Prime ministers (Shamir, Rabin, Peres, Netanyahu, and Barak) and everyone else in the region from Hafez al-Asad to Yassir Arafat and King Hussein of Jordan. He repeats a joke towards the end of the book: after negotiating with the newly crowned King of Morocco, who's younger than he is, he tells his staff that his David Letterman Top 10 list of reasons he should retire would include "When you've gone from being younger than all the people you negotiate with to older than everyone else." There are as a result thumbnail sketches of most of the leaders of the Middle East, especially Yassir Arafat and the various Israeli Prime Ministers. The negotiations that the elder Bush and then Clinton arranged and tried to guide towards peace are dissected, sometimes in agonizing detail.
The book seems to slow down as it goes along. Though the text covers 12 years, the first four are covered in about a hundred pages. Netanyahu gets to the Prime Ministership about page 250, and that was in 1996. His era covers another 250 pages or so, with Barak getting the last 300 pages for his tenure. The Camp David talks in 2000 receive about a hundred pages, including preliminaries and the aftermath. Ross is pretty merciless in his judgements: even Clinton occasionally is chided for not emphasizing things the way Ross would have liked, and the author himself comes in for self-criticism on more than one occasion for some mistake he made. He doesn't have anything bad to say about his three bosses at the State Department (though Madeline Albright comes off as less involved in the negotiations than Warren Christopher). However, he has a lot to say about Arafat (who he ultimately concludes was incapable of signing peace with Israel) and the Israeli Prime Ministers. Both Netanyahu and Barak come in for considerable criticism for their negotiating style. Almost everyone Ross negotiated with gets some negative attention.
This is an enormous, intelligent, involved, detailed, exhaustive memoir of what happened. Several of the other reviews on Amazon make the mistake of reviewing Ross rather than his book. This is a memoir: the author is supposed to tell you what he thought, felt, believed, and acted upon, and how that came out. His views may not mesh with the reader's, but the point of this whole exercise isn't whether you agree with him, it's whether you think he adequately explained what happened and what he wants to tell you about it. I think that in the latter Ross has done an admirable job. The book recounts in considerable detail the nuts-and-bolts nature of negotiating, what you have to do to try and forge agreements, and so forth. It also, yes, involves some personal accounts of things at times, as the author recounts for you the strain involved in what he was doing. This *is* pertinent, in that eventually someone working this way would collapse, and it's also interesting in terms of just trying to imagine living for 2 weeks with only an hour or two of sleep every night. Imagine trying to have a clear head after that!
I enjoyed this book a great deal, and think I learned a lot from it. Its size probably puts it beyond much of the reading public, and I know it's incomplete in terms of points of view and events, but it's going to be indispensable in discerning what went wrong in the region during the latter part of the Clinton years.

Worth reading.......2007-08-14
I am in favor of human rights for all. And I like the idea of peace. But I only gave Dennis Ross' book, "The Missing Peace," three stars in my review of it.
Yes, I know that many intelligent people thought that peace in the region was possible. Peace was essential for Israel and could be made to look good for many Arabs. Either or both sides might well have accepted a deal. And either or both sides might have kept it long enough to give long-term peace a real chance. I can understand that. It did have a chance. Just not much of one.
My complaints with Ross' book were about things I feel he failed to put into perspective, for the simple reason that he did not share that perspective. It did not seem to bother him much that he was getting land-poor Israel to cede land not to a friend but to a terrorist enemy that was likely to pocket any gains, start a war, and then blame Israel. It did not seem to bother him much that he was "negotiating under fire" at the end of the year 2000. And he did not seem bothered all that much by two things that I think are at the core of the problems in obtaining peace: antizionist incitement and antizionist lies.
Now, what does Michael Rubner have to say about this book?
First, he praises Ross for being qualified to discuss what happened, having been the chief U.S. peace negotiator for two American Presidents. That's fair. Next, he discusses the attempts made by Israel and Syria to obtain a peace agreement, including settling the status of the Golan Heights. I've been to the Golan Heights, and I think that it makes sense to leave parts of them in Israeli hands, where they won't simply tempt Syrians to shoot at the Israelis from the heights. After all, Israel is land-poor and there's no reason why it shouldn't be encouraged to purchase some of that land from Syria, if indeed it is decided that the land is actually Syrian.
Rubner also likes it when Ross blames Netanyahu for, of all things, making "the ominous decision to open the Hasmonean Tunnel just outside the perimeter" of the Temple Mount, a move Rubner calls "shortsighted." I can't agree with him here: opening a door to a market so that people do not have to walk all the way back to where they came from is a good idea! Those who riot and use something like this as an excuse are the ones with a problem. Similarly, when Ariel Sharon visited the Temple Mount along with some Israeli policemen (something well within his rights) after getting explicit permission from both Israeli and Arab authorities, I think Rubner is going overboard to dismiss this as "inopportune and provocative." The peace process depended in part on assurances that people would have a real opportunity to assert their rights.
Rubner does describe the extent of Israel's offers to the Arabs. And these offers looked absurd to me, needlessly hurting Israel and giving little of real value to the Arabs. But at least he does report accurately on Arafat having rejected them. As Rubner says, "Ross's verdict that Arafat was primarily responsible for the breakdown of the peace process has been challenged" by an aide, Robert Malley. Malley does indeed say that the final deal presented to Arafat was rushed, that Arafat may have been trying to hold out for an even better deal, that there was little pressure on Arafat from the Arab world to accept, and that other Arab negotiators may well have been against the deal as well. Rubner replies, quite reasonably, that turning down Barak's offer was likely to result in worse offers in the future, that Arab leaders backed Clinton's proposals, and that Ross provides evidence that other Arabs on the negotiating team were not opposed to Clinton's package.
On the whole, this is a fairly good review of a fairly good book.
