Noam Kochavi looks at the emotional impact on senior American leadership of specific choices made by Israel outside the Middle East in the early 1970s, such as the acumen and sensitivity of Israel with regard to Nixon's fundamental concerns?"honorable extrication" from Vietnam and winning reelection. The book takes issue with the controversial argument that Israeli and American Jewish leaders joined forces to orchestrate a campaign designed to tilt American foreign policy in Israel's favor. To the contrary, the picture that emerges suggests that while Israel did adopt policies that altered Nixon's image of Israel, these policies were adopted not in concert with American Jews but despite American Jewish disapproval. 606 $aJews$zSoviet Union$xMigrations$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJews, Soviet$zIsrael$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zIsrael 607 $aIsrael$xForeign relations$zUnited States 615 0$aJews$xMigrations$xHistory 615 0$aJews, Soviet$xHistory 676 $a327.7305694 700 $aKochavi$b Noam$f1961-$01813807 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957913403321 996 $aNixon and Israel$94367659 997 $aUNINA
