Title: Excellent book, but why no mention of the USS Liberty?
Product review: This is an excellent, even-handed history of the modern state of Israel's relations with its Arab neighbors. It loses a star, however, for not even mentioning the USS Liberty, the US intelligence ship that was deliberately attacked by Israel during the 1967 war, killing 34 American sailors and injuring 171 others. The attack was downplayed and covered up by the Johnson administration, which saw in Israel a powerful new ally. But why do the authors of this book choose to ignore it?
