This is the most definitive account of this highly secretive relationship that exists. It relies on thousands of never before seen archival documents and hundreds of interviews with the diplomats and defense officials involved on both sides, some of whom are no longer around to tell their stories.
It is also a compelling narrative that at times has the pace of a spy novel rather than an academic diplomatic history. The book makes a strong argument that Israel morally compromised itself by aligning so closely with South Africa and offers compelling evidence for this claim including the first-person testimony of many Israeli diplomats and defense officials. That claim is controversial and has upset many readers including some of the reviewers here on Amazon.
Readers can decide for themselves what they personally conclude, but there is no question that the evidence and the arguments on all sides are presented fairly and professionally. What this book does offer is the most comprehensive picture and analysis of the Israeli-South African relationship ever written and dozens of new revelations and documents confirming them.
If you are looking for serious scholarship rather than ideological point-scoring, read this book. One person found this helpful. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. I purchased this book after listening to the foreign affairs podcast of the author's talk of the book. I was imtrigued by the most salacious aspect of the book; that 60's Zionist leaders willingly aligned with South African leaders who had been Nazi sympathizers during WWII.
They did indeed and Polakow-Suransky does a great of showing why that occurred. He goes on to show how internal and external events affected the relationship. Very illuminating and insightful from the perspective weapons proliferation. Israel's Secret Relationship with Apartheid So.
Africa Great book if you are interested in middle east history. Very well written and very informative with documented evidence and sources. There is much history involving So. Africa, Israel,the US and other western powers with much back-room dealins and dramas involving nuclear weapons and support of evil regimes.
I first discovered this book at my local library and enjoyed it so much I decided to add it to my own library. Many events that are happening today in these turbulent times will make more sense after this read. Hard to put this book down. I recommend it, and gave it 4 out of 5 stars. I found this book well written and very informative and Suranksy tries to remain pretty objective throughout.
The author illuminates in great detail the economic and military ties that flourished between Israel and apartheid South Africa, along with the reasoning provided by right wing Israelis. And all the while the relations were a guarded secret and downplayed or outright denied on the world stage.
