Israel’s Fateful Hour, by Yehoshafat Har-kabi (Harper & Row, 256 pp., $19.95)

IN Israel’s Fateful Hour, Yehoshafat Harkabi argues that it’s time for Israel to make peace, even if that means talking with the PLO and giving up the occupied territories. Coming from a blame-Israel-first peacenik, this wouldn’t be news. But Harkabi is a former head of Israeli military intelligence. Not long ago, in fact, he was one of the country’s leading hawks, who sought to warn Israelis that the Arab forces were quite serious about wanting to wipe Israel off the map.
