ISRAEL: A Foreign Affair (Israel Memories Series #1)
The Israel Memories Series provides an insider’s view of Israel, the peace process and the American-Israel relationship - stories only the author can tell. The series melds journey, insight and historic photos into inspiring story clusters.
In the inaugural volume, a courageous family background and fateful turning points transform Dr. Joyce Starr into a war volunteer, witness, and champion for the State of Israel. Her unusual journey catapults her to a key White House role and to the trust and respect of Israeli prime ministers, defense ministers, foreign ministers, and legendary Israeli figures.
Her unusual career – quasi-diplomat, activist, analyst and writer – is a story unto itself. This volume spotlights: initial hopes for the Middle East peace process; the revolution forged by Menachem Begin, Anwar Sadat and Jimmy Carter; a rare glimpse of Yitzhak Rabin; and General Arik Sharon's most heart-wrenching challenge.
Dr. Starr contributes precious kernels of Jewish history: how the Uman grave site of revered Chassidic master Rabbi Nachman of Breslov was saved from destruction; a rabbi who risked all during the Russian Pogroms; a rebbetzin (rabbi’s wife) who led the escape from sure death to American shores; brave Christians who jeopardized their own lives to rescue a Jewish family; and the determination of four generations of Jewish women.
A leading authority on US-Israel relations, she highlights the human dimension, while unraveling the policy consequences. The great divide between Israelis who can’t fathom the American mentality and Americans who know and/or “love” Israel in superficial terms, results in an emotional tension and yearning that affects so many - even at the highest levels.
Combining vivid vignettes about Israel with challenges encountered during her journey, her fast-paced series will enrich your understanding of Israel and those who loved her. Historians will discover missing pieces and valuable clues.
