A cool headed examination of the issue,
By
This review is from: America and the founding of Israel: An investigation of the morality of America's role (Paperback)
The topic of Israel and the Palestinians is so sensitive that I was expecting the kind of emotional polemic that's often found when the subject comes up in conversation. I was glad to find that Mulhall is not out to rage against injustice, but to examine history carefully, making a case that injustice was done based on the evidence of actions and statements made by the principals during the period leading up to statehood for Israel. The book is well written, with a chronological account in detail followed by a concise summary of the moral issues that are pertinent and how what has been examined relates to them. In short, the author keeps his head cool and the reader benefits, learning how America, trying to do right for one people, supported doing wrong to another people.

A Lesson in "Lost History",
This review is from: America and the founding of Israel: An investigation of the morality of America's role (Paperback)
John Mulhall's book is an excellent historical review of history as we may not have known it. With excellent documentation and quotes from people who had major influence in the events that have shaped our present-day situation, we are presented with American politics that have long escaped attention and public scrutiny. Sometimes the chronology is difficult to follow, probably because of the sheer volume of information he presents. The bibliography is excellent and tempts further readings into our so misunderstood dealings in the Middle East.

Good Analysis,
By A Customer
This review is from: America and the founding of Israel: An investigation of the morality of America's role (Paperback)
John Mulhall has done an excellent job investigating the moral issues involved in the establishment of Israel and America's role in it. Very informative. Good book for anyone wishing to understand the Israel/Palestine issue better.
