- Synopsis
- Drawing from 12 papers presented at a conference on US-Israeli relations in October 2010 at Johns Hopkins U. , Freedman (political science, Baltimore Hebrew U. ) brings together a group of Israeli and North American scholars from a variety of political perspectives who examine the nature and extent of US-Israeli relations from 1948 to the present. The essays not only address the history of this diplomatic relationship and the Iranian nuclear threat against Israel, but areas not usually covered in analyses: the influence of the US legal system, the impact of US strategic thinking on the Israeli military, the interrelationship of the American Orthodox Jewish community and the State of Israel, evangelical Christian attitudes, changing US public attitudes, US-Israeli economic interactions, the nature of the pro-Israel lobby in the US, and the American Jewish peace movement's relationship with Israel. They also address the policies of George W. Bush and Barack Obama and the evolution of US-Israeli trade and aid. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
