Raanan Rein. Argentina, Israel, and the Jews: Perón, the Eichmann Capture and After. Translated by Martha Grenzeback. Bethesda: University Press of Maryland. 2003. Pp. xxi, 275. $25.00.

This is a study of the relationship among the government of Argentina, the government of Israel, and the Argentine Jewish community. Raanan Rein begins in the year 1947, with an analysis of Argentine policy leading to its abstention from the crucial United Nations vote on the partition of Palestine that brought the State of Israel into existence. He continues through 1962, when Israel's execution of the war criminal Adolf Eichmann led to a paroxysm of antisemitic attacks in Argentina. These fifteen years saw the rise and fall of Argentine strongman Juan Perón and the election and deposing of Arturo Frondizi. In the same years, Israel consolidated itself as a nation-state and emerged as a player in world politics. Meanwhile, Argentina's Jews—first, second, and third-generation citizens—went from optimistic belief in an ever-expanding future to loss of confidence in the possibility of a desirable future in their adoptive homeland.
