"Prodigiously documented... Alison Weir must be highly commended
for throwing such a brilliantly hard light on the relationship
between the United States and Israel. I hope this marvelous book
gets all the attention it deserves." - Ambassador Andrew Killgore
Soon after WWII, US statesman Dean Acheson warned that creating
Israel on land already inhabited by Palestinians would "imperil"
both American and all Western interests in the region. Despite
warnings such as this one, President Truman supported establishing
a Jewish state on land primarily inhabited by Muslims and
Christians. Few Americans today are aware that US support enabled
the creation of modern Israel. Even fewer know that US politicians
pushed this policy over the forceful objections of top diplomatic
and military experts. As this work demonstrates, these politicians
were bombarded by a massive pro-Israel lobbying effort that ranged
from well-funded and very public Zionist organizations to an
"elitist secret society" whose members included Supreme Court
Justice Louis Brandeis. AGAINST OUR BETTER JUDGMENT brings together
meticulously sourced evidence to illuminate a reality that differs
starkly from the prevailing narrative. It provides a clear view of
the history that is key to understanding one of the most critically
important political issues of our day.
