"John F. Kennedy and Israel has much to say on how history ought to judge Kennedy. Druks' narrative shows Kennedy able to focus in perspective and insightful ways on the Middle East even as the Cuban missile crisis and the civil rights movement necessarily took much of his time. The lasting impact on the Middle East of what brief time JFK had is inescapable to anyone reading Herbert M. Druks's fascinating book." - Hadassah Magazine
