Our greatest ally?

Essential book on understanding aspects of the Israeli influence and control of the US Gov military. A sobering read post War of Terror.

Important, hidden history

This book contains information that we should have been taught in Junior high history. It is amazing to me how much easily verifiable history is kept from the public. Green lays out citical evidence that the Nation of Israel has not behaved as an ally to the United States since its very inception. The Lavon affair, the attack on the USS Liberty, and the NUMEC fiasco are but a frew of the example he covers. Most Americans would be shocked to learn of Israel's behavior toward its biggest ally and financial benefactor. If you are a staunch supporter of all things Israel or if you are convinced that modern Israel is the fullfillment of prophecy this will be a painful but necessary read.

Should be required reading in school

Incredibly researched book filled with little known information that shows the ongoing pattern of manipulation of the US by Israeli leaders since it's inception, and even before it became a state. Irrefutable with impeccable references and footnotes- should be required reading by all students of history.

Excellant for those studying u.s. foriegn relations

A very interesting, well written, in depth look into U.S. relations with Israel from 1946-1967. Green covers keys points in Israel's short and violent history in an attempt to better inform the public about many key issues from Zionist recruitment during the War of Independance up to the incident involving Israel attacking the U.S.S. Liberty without provocation during the infamous 6 Day war with the United Arab Nations. This is an excellent read for anyone either seeking more information on U.S. policy towards Israel (via detailed history of key events) or those studying foriegn/global policies involving countries in the middle east. I highly recommend this book!

Research of the US Middle East activity with precision.

This book is a complete, well researched history of the secert US relations with Isreal. The detail and precision of each account is amazing. Stephen Green gives life to the rumors that have been echoed thoughout US post WWII history. His non-partisonship prohibits, in his writings, the bias` that some Western people have toward Arab nations. This book is a great lead into his LIVING BY THE SWORD.
