ABSTRACT
The campaign to secure favorable conditions for an Israeli withdrawal from Sinai and to heal the rift between Israel and the United States was a supreme test for Reuven Shiloah and the ‘Circle of Friends’ he had nurtured single-handedly. Shiloah, a man known for his restlessness, now devoted himself whole-heartedly to this single issue. Some of his acquaintances claimed that in so doing he hastened his end two years later.
