Review:

"Kochavi's book, despite its small size, is one of the first books dealing with U.S.-Israeli relationships during the Nixon administration based on recently declassified archival materials. It is hence an important book." -- Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies

"Using a wealth of recently declassified Israeli and American documents, Kochavi has unraveled the evolution of Nixon's policy shift toward Israel ... Kochavi's valuable contribution ... stands as a corrective to those scholars who have tended to treat the Nixon administration's Vietnam policy and his Middle Eastern policy separately." --Jewish Book World

"...this readable and exceedingly well-documented study casts new light upon interest group politics as well as the variety of personal factors and strategic considerations that influenced the issue of this emigration ... It also highlights the manner in which ideational factors contributed to the evolving 'special relationship' between Israel and the US during the Nixon administration." -- CHOICE
