Synopsis

This program includes an introduction read by the author.

World-renowned lawyer Alan Dershowitz recounts stories from his many years of defending the state of Israel.

Alan Dershowitz has spent years advocating for his "most challenging client"—the state of Israel—both publicly and in private meetings with high level international figures, including every US president and Israeli leader of the past 40 years. Replete with personal insights and unreported details, Defending Israel offers a comprehensive history of modern Israel from the perspective of one of the country's most important supporters. Listeners are given a rare front row seat to the high profile controversies and debates that Dershowitz was involved in over the years, even as the political tides shifted and the liberal community became increasingly critical of Israeli policies.

Beyond documenting America's changing attitude toward the country, Defending Israel serves as an updated defense of the Jewish homeland on numerous points—though it also includes Dershowitz's criticisms of Israeli decisions and policies that he believes to be unwise. At a time when Jewish Americans as a whole are increasingly uncertain as to who supports Israel and who doesn't, there is no better audiobook to turn to for answers—and a pragmatic look toward the future.

I will leave it to Alan Dershowitz to defend Israel, and explain how the current political situation has changed the support of Israel from a traditionally liberal endeavor to a conservative ideal.

Goodreads review by Cristie

This was a factual and bipartisan view of the political climate in Israel. The author didn't try to force their opinions onto the reader, as the facts were laid out in a manner that allowed them to form their own opinion. I learned a lot from this book and feel like I have a better grasp of the situ......more
