A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

From Truman to Bush, the United States has assured Israel's existence, while providing billions in military and economic support. Over the same period, no US president has ever submitted a formal treaty of alliance to the Senate, or even moved the American embassy from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem. Schoenbaum's book traces Israeli-American relations from their roots in both the American and Jewish experiences to the current peace process. It also examines the relationship in the perspective of two world wars, the Cold War, the Gulf War, European colonialism and Middle Eastern nationalisms, global policy, and domestic policies in both countries.

Revue de presse

`an elegant and absorbing historical study of America's surpassingly dramatic and demanding half-century's connection with Israel' Washington Post

`What Schoenbaum brings to the debate is an impatience with clichés, an encyclopedic knowledge of the written record, and a beyond-the-Beltway perspective ... refreshingly free of propaganda ... a valuable contribution. Foreign Affairs

`Given the high calibre of research, this will be of considerable use for reference.' Political Studies

David Schoenbaum's treatment offers a broader coverage and wittier style. (Survival)
