About the Author:

Paul Eidelberg (Ph.D. University of Chicago) is an internationally renowned political scientist. He is the author of several books on American and Jewish statesmanship.

Review:

That America and Israel have walked together for the past half-century astonishes the world. Friends praise the alliance, enemies revile it. But who has really explained it? Here Paul Eidelberg uncovers the profound roots of this affinity, roots so deep that most Americans and Israelis have never clearly seen them--only felt them...as some shared source of life. Drawing upon his lifelong study of American constitutionalism and availing himself of the political theology of the great rabbi Eliyahu ben Abraham Benamozegh, Eidelberg finds in the principles of the American founders the unmistakable spirit of Biblical law and statesmanship. --Professor Will Morrisey, Hillsdale College, USA
