Hi all,
I've just submitted for proofing "Against Our Better Judgment: The hidden
history of how the U.S. was used to create Israel" by Alison Weir.
It's been read and spell-checked. All headers stripped, page numbers/chapter
titles present/protected, footnotes formatted, fonts adjusted. Lots of
proper names and non-English words. 241 pages.
Description:
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.
Deborah
