The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy

The Israel Lobby and U.S.

Foreign Policy is a groundbreaking work that challenges the status quo and provides a fresh perspective on the impact of the Israel lobby on US foreign policy.

Written by two leading scholars, John J.

Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Stephen M.

Walt of Harvard's John F.

Kennedy School of Government, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of the remarkable level of material and diplomatic support that the United States provides to Israel and argues that this support cannot be fully explained on either strategic or moral grounds.

The authors provocatively contend that the lobby has a far-reaching impact on America's posture throughout the Middle East, including in Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, and toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the policies it has encouraged are not in either America's national interest or Israel's long-term interest.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between the United States and Israel and its impact on global politics.
