ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES: SIX DECADES OF USA-ISRAELI RELATIONS
Ed. by R.O. Freedman. Colorado: Westview Press, 2012. 304 p.* The history of the American-Israeli alliance dates back more than six decades, but the interest of the scientific community in this tandem, the stages of its development and the mechanisms of interaction still does not fade.

Walt predetermined the activation of representatives of the "traditionalist" wing in historiography, who positively assess the American-Israeli dialogue and emphasize the success of this partnership in all areas, starting with trade and ending with education. Among them, a peer-reviewed collective monograph attracts interest. Executive Editor o ... Read more
