Product Description

This documented account of the secret relations between Israel and America is bound to spark debate. Thoughtful friends of Israel who are genuinely concerned about current trends in the Middle East should welcome this book, which explores America’s behind-the-scenes relations with a country ~ the fierce militarism of David Ben Gurion and Moshe Dayan coexists with the humane vision of a secure Jewish home- land of Martin Buber, Nahum Goldsnann, and Moshe Sharett. In the course of his research, the author filed more than 100 Freedom of Information Act requests with 22 different government agencies, and spent over 2 years examining previously classified files in the National Archives and in several of the presidential libraries. The docu- ments he uncovered provide a new look at both the friendly and adversarial dealings between America and Israel. There is new information in Taking Sides, ~which answers questions such as these: • Could the Labour coalition government of David Ben Gurion have been directly involved in the 1948 assassination of UN Mediator Count Folke Bernadotte, and did the U.S. government investigate the matter? • Why did American-Israeli relations sink to their lowest point in 1953, when President Eisen- hower cut off all aid to Israel? • Were there top-secret negotiations bçtween Israel and Egypt in 1954, nearly 25 years before Camp David, and did certain Israeli “militarists” illegally undercut their own government’s nego- tiations?
