Review
“Teslik provides a fine study of a complex issue: the protracted and sometimes painful efforts to reach a national consensus on American responses to the Arab boycott of Israel. He has defined his subject and his approach to it with great care. He includes the necessary history to place the post-1973 debate in proper context, and gives enough theory of congressional-executive relations to help the reader understand the episode as but one of many case studies about reconciling domestic and foreign policy concerns, and about dealing with the cumbersome processes of American democracy.”–Middle East Studies Assocation
