Title: A very important connection
Review: This definitely fills the gap in scholarship that surrounds the nature of the American relationship with Israel. Although The Israelis were told to not be `the first nation to employ nuclear weapons in the middle east' Mr. Eban replied to Mr. Rusk saying `We wont be the second either'. Thus this book describes the complicated political game that was the 1960s relationship with Israel in which America looked the other way at the Dimona project while JFK declared he would support `any friend'. Nasser helped cement the relationship by excepting Czech arms. Thus this books shows the truth behind Americas ties to Israel wasn't `Jewish influence' but rather cold war politics. A fascinating and important account.Seth J. Frantzman
