| Abstract
|
:
|
"Tells the dramatic story of how a ragtag group of Americans of all religions worked, often in secret and facing the possibility of arrest and imprisonment, to make sure that after the Holocaust a refuge for Jews would be born. It is a story that is not well-known but deserves to be. The book tells the story of how Americans raised money; gathered munitions, ships, and planes; rescued Holocaust survivors and sneaked them past the British patrols; helped Israel prepare militarily; engaged in dramatic political efforts in Washington and the United Nations to secure Israeli statehood; participated in cultural activities to support the Zionist cause; and in other ways made a decisive difference in allowing Israel to be born. From well-known figures like Golda Meir to little-known individuals, Americans and the Birth of Israel brings these compelling stories to light and explores the complex relationship between the United States and Israel historically and today."--Back cover.
