"The American Balfour Declaration: The Origins Of U.S. Support For
Zionism 1917-1922" tells the story of the first official U.S.
endorsement of a Jewish home in Palestine in 1922. It is a fascinating
story, unknown to many people, in which the unlikely heroes are not
established American Zionist figures like Louis Brandeis and traditional
friends of the Jews in Washington, DC. Instead, the heroes are an
immigrant rabbi from Kansas, Simon Glazer, and the leading patrician
senator, Henry Cabot Lodge. The book succeeds in redefining for us the
origins of American support for Israel. This informative study breathes
new life into a key moment in the history of Zionism in the United
States - the adoption of the Lodge-Fish Resolution of 1922. With skill
and fresh insight, the author, Paul Azous, considers the major events
and figures as well as many of the social, religious, and political
developments surrounding the adoption of the Resolution. All those with
an interest in the history of Zionism in America will find this book to
be fascinating and informative.
