Although Israel has been primarily dependent on U.S. arms for its
national security since 1968, supplying military aid has not
conferred the degree of policy leverage anticipated by the United
States. This study is the first to analyze the reasons why the
tactics of transferring or withholding arms have failed to achieve
U.S. foreign policy goals in the Middle East. Providing a thorough,
up-to-date reexamination of the U.S.-Israeli relationship, Nachmias
gives a comprehensive account of U.S. Middle East policy from 1968
to 1988 and explores the international and regional dilemmas that
have undercut U.S. policy initiatives for peace. Nachmias argues
that the use of military aid to achieve foreign policy goals
ignores the regional conditions that control Middle East politics
and does little to advance the peace process or enhance U.S. power
in the region. To promote these objectives, she suggests
alternative approaches, including the creation of a coherent and
consistent U.S. policy for the region and a stronger and more
innovative diplomatic role. One of the few analyses to consider
international policy questions in terms of leverage between client
and patron states, Nachmias's work significantly enlarges our
understanding of the complex forces that will continue to shape the
Middle East situation in the coming decades. Her book will be a
valuable resource for scholars, officials, and students
specializing in U.S. politics and foreign policy and Middle East
studies.
