Support Any Friend - Kennedy''s Middle East and the Making of the U.s.-Israel Alliance

Zusatztext "A gripping account of how a chilly U.S.-Israeli relationship was transformed during the Kennedy presidency into today's full-blown alliance. Bass illuminates Kennedy's chess-like efforts to adequately arm the Israelis and maintain rapport with the Arabs, while keeping the Soviets out, the Suez Canal open and the oil flowing. Kennedy masterfully managed the potential Middle East crises of his time. Only Israel among the regional players made the most of what America offered. Bass' elegantly written analysis is filled with insights that make this an important and exciting work of history."--James Hoge, editor of Foreign Affairs Informationen zum Autor Warren Bass serves on the professional staff of the 9/11 Commission.
