Jerusalem in America's Foreign Policy, 1947-1997
Author:
A comprehensive and innovative examination of US policy on the Jerusalem issue over the past half-century, this study analyzes the complex political and legal factors, both domestic and international, which have shaped executive decisions. The book provides a unique entry into the variations in policy from administration to administration, and the increasingly assertive role of Congress. Based on insights garnered from the past, the author offers useful suggestions for a reality-bound future approach to a problem which is central to resolution of the protracted Arab-Israeli dispute, and thus to security throughout the Middle East.
'This outstanding book presents a first-class summation of the development of the Jerusalem issue and it should be required reading for all those who are seriously interested in the Arab-Israeli conflict and the peace process.'
The Jerusalem Post, June 25, 1999.
'[T]his book constitutes the most comprehensive study of the American position on Jerusalem today.'
Ha'aretz, June 18, 1999
'The book, which is the product of years of meticulous research in American, British, Israeli, and UN archives, contains a wealth of information. [...] It should be read by everyone involved in the Arab-Israel negotiations and by everyone interested in their outcome.'
The American Journal of International Law, 94.
