Since its founding in 1948, Israel has enjoyed a close relationship with the USA (closer at times than others), thanks largely to the substantial and vocal population of American Jews. But this, as the authors aim to show here, is only part of the picture. They claim there is a hidden dark side to the US-Israeli liaison, one responsible for a wide variety of corrupt, illegal, dangerous and unprincipled activity.… (mehr)
If you read enough about the Dirty Wars in Central America in the 1980s and the arms trading scheme that became known as 'Iran Contra' you will find Israelis appear many times on the periphery, yet the Congressional report mentioned Israel in less than 5% of the 400+ page report.
The real meat of this book is exploring how the USA responded to political pressure and Congressional bans on support to the South and Central American dictatorships (and also Apartheid South Africa) by employing Israel as a proxy to supply them as well as provide security training for them, which they were all too happy to oblige in order to expand and deepen military and political ties and develop mutual dependency.
Earlier chapters trace through the initially contentious but increasingly friendly relations on intelligence matters, but it is the proxy aid to third parties and the Nuclear weapons development program that are the most important parts.
NB: the book has recently come back into the spotlight because Leslie Cockburn is running for Congress, defenders of Israeli government policy and violence accuse her of being an anti-Semitic 'Israel hater' and cite this book as proof. Yet they don't quote any contentious paragraphs or sentences in it.

By noon on Tuesday, June 6, the U.S. Embassy in Amman was reporting, "IDF Air Force yesterday and again today hit many civilian targets on West Bank where there are absolutely no military emplacements."
As one Israeli observer put it, "When the contras were being created by the CIA, the United States turned to Israel, because Israel could offer expertise and weapons and do it without any hesitations and without any political problems. When the administration is blocked from offering direct aid, by political pressure or by act of Congress, Israel can step in very easily."
Following the 1978 Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon, the Israeli chief of staff had made it clear that the IDF had no qualms about striking civilians. Ha'aretz summarised General Motta Gurr as stating that "the Israeli army has always struck civilian populations, purposely and consciously [...] the army, he said, has never distinguished civilian [from military] targets."
