Böcker av Abraham Ben-Zvi

Reconstructing the often volatile US-Israeli relationship, this study examines the extent to which various coercive measures made by the USA between 1953 and 1991 proved effective in influencing Israeli policy.

How did the close cooperation between the United States and Israel evolve? Did the Kennedy Administration represent a radical departure from Eisenhower's policies in the region as previously believed? Ben-Zvi provides a significant reevaluation of the nature and origins of the American-Israeli alliance and the shaping of the modern Middle East.

This book seeks to reconstruct and elucidate the processes behind the decisions made by the Johnson Administration during the years 1965-68 to sell Israel M-48 tanks, A-4 Skyhawk planes and F-4 Phantom planes.

This volume argues that both domestic considerations and political calculations were part of a highly complex decision made by members of Washington's high policy elite to sell Israel Hawk surface-to-air missiles.
