The United States & the State of Israel

The United States & the State of Israel

by David Schoenbaum (Author)

Synopsis

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.
