Query: Historical Perspective

The American Prophecies, more than anything, is a fascinating overview of Israeli-American relations throughout history. Anyone who wants to get a good "cliff's note"-version of that relationship before diving into a deeper study would be well-advised to start here. Evans has produced a well researched, broadly scoped look into where our two nations have been and, through that, has given a perspective on where we may go from here. The best book that I have read so far this year.
