Thirty-Six Billion Bargain: Strategy and Politics in U.S. Assistance to Israel by A. F. K. Organski, ISBN 0231071973
In this provocative and original book, A.F.K. Organski explodes the myth that U.S. support of Israel is driven by an overriding concern for Israel's existence, or by powerful Jewish / Israeli interest groups. After examining American attitudes toward Israel over time and comparing Israeli aid with assistance programs to other nations, including the major Arab states, Organski establishes that support has been determined by U.S. strategic interests in the region, particularly to repulse both Soviet influence and the expansion of radical Arab states. Considering the immerse strategic value to the United States of stability in the Middle East, Organski concludes this illuminating work by declaring that American aid to Israel has been 'cheap at the price'.
