Opis

President Harry Truman granted immediate recognition to the State of Israel on 14 May 1948, in the face of advice from all his senior policy appointees. The decision is examined here within the tradition of Christian Restorationism, rooted in Biblical Christianity and part of the legacy of American Puritanism. The cause of restoration of the Jews to Zion first became a political force in the US with the publication in 1981 of the Blackstone Memorial.

Contemporary Review - Norman Berdichevsky

"Professor Merkley writes engagingly and the reader can feel that this is a subject which is close to the author"s heart. It is a valuable book which has much to say that will disabuse many readers of cherished illusions - especially false belief that President Roosevelt was sympathetic to the Zionist cause because of wholehearted Jewish support for his anti-Nazi policies ... This is a warm and revealing book that deserves significant attention.
