Does the pro-Israel lobby in the US exert inappropriate control over US foreign policy? This book has sparked a storm of controversy by bringing to light the relationship between the US and the Israel lobby: a loose-knit group of individuals and organizations actively working to shape foreign policy in a way that is deeply harmful to both the United States and Israel itself.
