Friends in Deed: Inside the US-Israel Alliance
by Dan Raviv & Yossi Melman (Authors of 'Every Spy a Prince')
Hardcover 537 pages.
I found this book quite intriguing, yet highly readable.
CBS correspondent Dan Raviv and Israeli journalist Yossi Melman explore the special but often troubled relationship between Israel and the US. Raviv and Melman attribute this relationship to a complex of factors, including American feelings of guilt for the Holocaust; the role of Israel in the prophetic visions of Christian evangelicals; the political effectiveness of the American Jewish community; and the strong personal feelings of some presidents, especially Ronald Reagan.
Inside accounts include how Israeli intelligence obtained Krushchev's seminal, top-secret anti-Stalinist speech for the CIA, among other tidbits.
A good read that sheds light on the personal and even idiosyncratic ways in which US foreign policy is sometimes made.
Books and cover is perfect EXCEPT for a 1" hole in back cover. $7 shipped anywhere in the USA
Cash, PP or USPS money order all accepted.
