Editorial Reviews

Exceptionally timely. . . . The author successfully melds the disciplines of history, international relations, and political science in trying to make sense of concrete events.

Barry Rubin

Delineates the sources of success and failure in US efforts to influence Israel during the course of the American-Israeli relationship as it has unfolded since 1953. Focuses on several significant case studies to bring to light the complexities of the interaction. Concludes with comments on the Gulf War and the return to power of the Labor Party in 1992--this study had gone to press before the recent peace accord. Annotation c.
