Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: fine. First edition. Fine copy in equally fine dust jacket. First printing, issued before the copyright page information had been secured. Hardcover. x+ 309 pp. with index. Hollywood's political history has been dominatd by a steady stream of films and memoirs decrying the "nightmare" of the "Red Scare" and how it victimized political innocents. In this work, the authors examine the "backstory" behind this myth. They show how in the late 1920s the Soviet Comintern decided to make the film capital a prime target; authors such as Budd Schulberg, Ring Lardner, Jr., Maurice Rapf and other young radicals journied to the USSR in the early 1930s, underwent a political conversion, and returned to Hollywood preaching a Soviet gospel. The reader is taken inside the cells and discussion groups that Communist Party Members formed, the guilds and unions they tried to take over, and the studios they aimed to influence.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Fifth printing [stated]. xiii, [3], 428, [4] pages. Illustrations. Map. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Signed by both authors on the fep. Allis Radosh has taught at Sarah Lawrence College and the City University of New York, and served as a program officer at the National Endowment for the Humanities. Ronald Radosh, professor emeritus of history at the City University of New York and adjunct senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, is the author or coauthor of fourteen books, including The Rosenberg File. He has written for The New Republic, National Review, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and many other publications. The Radoshes present a dramatic, in-depth account of President Truman's decision to recognize the state of Israel. A dramatic, detailed account of the events leading up to the creation of a Jewish homeland and the true story behind President Harry S. Truman's controversial decision to recognize of the State of Israel in 1948, drawn from Truman's long-lost diary entries and other previously unused archival materials. Extracted from a Jewish Book Council review found on-line by Noel Kriftcher (2012): Had Harry S. Truman not become America's accidental president, would the State of Israel have been created? This is the central question in the compelling, comprehensive history of Israel's birth, A Safe Haven: Harry Truman and the Founding of Israel. Authors Allis and Ronald Radosh offer a convincing defense of Truman, who was "guided by humanitarian and moral considerations," and as a politician, determined that recognizing Israel was "in the national interest of the United States." The modern story of Israel begins with Franklin Delano Roosevelt. His effective leadership in World War II compromised his health, and suddenly, in 1945, President Roosevelt was dead. By late 1944, one of the final years of the war, Roosevelt and the Allies faced a complex challenge. European Jewry, the displaced, surviving victims of the Nazis, invoked both sympathy and discomfort, and Roosevelt attempted to balance humanitarian concerns against an effort to protect American interests in the oil-rich Arab states. Despite having run for president on a Democratic Party platform promising the establishment of a Jewish commonwealth in Palestine, Roosevelt offered ambiguous if not contradictory promises to Ibn Saud of Arabia and to Congressional leaders. His vacillation led to unclear goals and confusing national objectives. When Harry S. Truman suddenly became president, a position he had never intended to assume, he discovered he "would find it impossible to live with FDR's obfuscations." Unclear about Roosevelt's commitments regarding Palestine, Truman became president having been excluded from many of his predecessor's foreign policy decisions, including commitments regarding Palestine. Truman, a Baptist, maintained that Jews were destined to return to Judea, and he was on record as early as May, 1939 as supporting the settlement of Jewish immigrants in Palestine. Contrasting Truman's unambiguous advocacy for a Jewish homeland with Roosevelt's private vacillations, it became likely that Truman's sympathies would lead to a consistent national policy supportive of a Jewish Commonwealth in Palestine, although both Roosevelt and Truman shared the desire to avoid using America's military force in Palestine at all costs. The authors recount the political strategies and intrigues which ensued during the post-war years, as Truman attempted to exercise his personal persuasive power on behalf of American policy in a world that was rapidly changing. He was opposed by the British, who, led by Ernest Bevin, undermined attempts to arrive at a mediated settlement to the Palestine issue. They were motivated perhaps by anti-Semitism, or Britain's dependence on oil, but certainly from reluctance to lose a final vestige of imperialistic control. Yet surprisingly, Truman was also undermined by the U.S. State Department, which succumbed to Arab demands in contravention to the president's stated foreign policy initiatives. Truman's courage and political skill at this time form an important part of the story of Israel's birth, and a mere ten minutes after Israel declared its independence, President Truman himself announced the United States' recognition of the new nation. The authors' admiration for Truman is evident, but there are many lesser-known heroes in this history, notably Eddie Jacobson, Truman's former haberdashery partner and White House confidant. The richly textured portraits of these diverse contributors add to the delight of reading this book. The Radoshes conclude that if Truman had not become president when he did, Israel might not have been created, but even if their speculation is wrong, it is clear that it was Truman's resolute leadership, and his good heart, and his ability to inspire like-minded strategists that overcame resistance to a Jewish homeland.…

Zustand: Gut. Zustand: Gut | Seiten: 452 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | On May 14, 1948, under the stewardship of President Harry S. Truman, the United States became the first nation to recognize the State of Israel -- just moments after sovereignty had been declared in Jerusalem. But it was hardly a foregone conclusion that America would welcome the creation of this new country. While acknowledging this as one of his proudest moments, Truman also admitted that no issue was "more controversial or more complex than the problem of Israel."Impeccably researched and brilliantly told, based on never-before-used archival material, A Safe Haven is a suspenseful, moment-by-moment re-creation of this crossroads in U.S.-Israeli relations and Middle Eastern politics.…
