Book Review
The Uncertain Alliance: The U.S. and Israel from Kennedy to
the Peace Process. By Herbert Druks. (Westport: Greenwood, 2001. xvi, 294
pp. $69.95, ISBN 0-313-31424-1.)

Druks's book is the second part of his history of American-Israeli
relations. The first part is the 2001 volume that describes those relations in
the years from Franklin D. Roosevelt to John F. Kennedy. While the first part
was based on a wide range of primary sources, published and unpublished, the
second one is based, for the years from the Six-Day War to the Oslo Agreement
and after until the so-called second intifada, almost exclusively on press
sources and interviews, though the latter are very important. But primary
sources for the years from Lyndon B. Johnson to Richard M. Nixon are now
available, as are Israeli diplomatic papers for most of the 1950s. It would be
opportune for a second edition of this book to use those new sources. |
