Who should count as Jewish in America? What should be the relationship of American Jews to Israel? The current situation for American Jews is paradoxical; they enjoy unprecedented integration and esteem across American life but face significant challenges. These include rampant intermarriage, weak religious observance, diminished cohesion amid waning anti-Semitism, and conflicting views on Israel. The pressing question is whether the community can sustain a strong sense of Jewish identity for future generations. In this insightful work, Robert H. Mnookin argues that traditional answers no longer suffice. He advocates for a radically inclusive American-Jewish community, where Jewish identity is based on personal choice and public self-identification rather than solely on birth or formal conversion. Rather than discouraging intermarriage or marginalizing critics of Israel, Mnookin envisions a community that embraces diversity and fosters open debate. This approach aims to preserve and strengthen Jewish identity for the next generation and beyond, addressing the complexities of contemporary Jewish life in America.

In an age of terror, our national leaders face such critical decisions every day. Should we negotiate with the Taliban? Iran? North Korea? In private disputes you too may face such adversaries: a business partner who has cheated you, a sibling grabbing part of your inheritance, a greedy divorcing spouse. Across a wide range of difficult conflicts, Mnookin explains how to make wise decisions. He identifies the traps to avoid—emotional, strategic, and political—and the elements that are critical for success. Mnookin’s real life case studies cover a remarkable range. Some involve political leaders: Churchill’s refusal in 1940 to negotiate with Hitler; Nelson Mandela’s choice to initiate negotiations with the government of South Africa. Others involve individuals facing evil regimes: the Soviet KGB or Hitler’s SS. Half the cases involve business or family disputes where Mnookin played an active role. In all of them, emotions ran high and demonization ran rampant: two giant computer companies fighting over software rights, the San Francisco Symphony torn by strike, a CEO who feels betrayed by a joint venture partner, and some family disputes that reached crisis points. In this lively, informative, practical book, Robert Mnookin provides the reader with the tools we need to bargain with the devils in everyday life as well as evaluate the decisions of our national leaders.

Conflict is inevitable, in both deals and disputes. Yet when clients call in the lawyers to haggle over who gets how much of the pie, traditional hard-bargaining tactics can lead to ruin. Too often, deals blow up, cases don't settle, relationships fall apart, justice is delayed. Beyond Winning charts a way out of our current crisis of confidence in the legal system. It offers a fresh look at negotiation, aimed at helping lawyers turn disputes into deals, and deals into better deals, through practical, tough-minded problem-solving techniques.
