This new publication probes the origins of the
American Jewish-Israeli relationship. The author bases his findings on extensive
research of organizational and personal archives. He argues that the
"pioneering" impact of key American Zionist organizations and individuals on
Israel was paradoxical and significant. Dr. Silver is the head of the General
Studies department at the Max Stern College of Emek Yezreel. American-born, he
has lived as an Israeli for over two decades and lives with his family in the
Galilee. As a visiting professor in the United States, he has lectured widely
and appeared frequently in American media, on the PBS Newshour and other
outlets. His Ph.D. in Modern Jewish History was awarded by the Hebrew University
of Jerusalem.

A LEGACY LOST by Stanley E. Tobin
(ISBN 0-938609-94-7)
This book presents an analysis
of post World War II political history, including Teddy Roosevelt's "vigorous"
approaches, governmental adventure, and various colorful politicians who swarmed
the national stage during much of the 20th Century. It recalls the campaigns and
conventions of earlier times, leading to an exploration of how the system has
been steadily eviscerated to the point of becoming a state of political inertia
and decay.
