The Arc of a Covenant

This groundbreaking book challenges the conventional understanding of the Israeli-American relationship and delves into the fate of the Jewish people. The author, a leading scholar of American foreign policy, argues that both pro- and anti-Zionists have collaborated in a myth of monolithic American-Jewish support for Israel, which underestimates the potential for change in the Israeli-American relationship. Mead also unveils the little-known incidence of non-Jews lobbying for a Jewish homeland before the modernist Zionist movement. With insightful analysis and engaging prose, this book sheds light on a complex and controversial topic.
