Common Desires; Common Foes

Written before Wolf Blitzer joined CNN, this detailed study of US-Israeli relations provides a solid introduction to the foundations and limits of this military alliance. Blitzer was the Jerusalem Post's Washington Bureau Chief in the 1980s, and had exceptional access to the key political leaders of that era from Abba Eban, Stephen Solarz, and Jack Kemp.

An excellent book for political scientists, media mavens, and activists interested in the search for peace in the Mideast.
