America's Palestine Popular And Official Perceptions From Balfour To Israeli Statehood

In a revisionist look at the history of U.S. relations with Palestine, Lawrence Davidson offers a critical study of the evolution of American popular and governmental perceptions of Zionism and Palestine, from the Balfour Declaration of 1917 to the founding of Israel in 1948. Showing how a powerful and determined interest group turned the U.S. political system to its advantage and shaped foreign policy, America's Palestine is an important study of one of the 20th century's most controversial international stories.Davidson, Lawrence is the author of 'America's Palestine Popular And Official Perceptions From Balfour To Israeli Statehood' with ISBN 9780813028453 and ISBN 0813028450.
