The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy

Political scientists John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen M. Walt examine the influence of pro-Israel individuals and organizations on United States foreign policy. They argue that the Israel lobby has helped shape American support for Israel in ways they contend are harmful to both U.S. and Israeli interests. The book expands the authors' earlier academic article and analyzes lobbying, public discourse, strategic policy, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
