Reviews
A significant and interesting contribution to the historical analysis of public diplomacy. An excellent case study of the public diplomacy of a new state, Israel, during a critical period of several major wars with its neighbors. Presents and evaluates organizational and policy challenges in public diplomacy, and ways to fix them. Well-grounded in documents, memoirs, biographies, and interviews. -- Professor Eytan Gilboa, Director, The Center for International Communication, Bar-Ilan University This rigorous, penetrating and long-overdue study examines Israel's international public opinion efforts. In his highly readable and thoroughly researched book, Jonathan Cummings successfully tackles the key problems of Israel's hasbara and has produced the definitive work on this sensitive topic. -- Meron Medzini, former Director, Israel Government Press Office Hasbara has become synonymous with Israel's heavy-handed efforts at making its case on the international stage. By unpicking the details of a critical phase of Israeli history, Jonathan Cummings has reclaimed the centrality of Israel's public diplomacy as an element of the country's foreign policy. This is an important book and a compelling read. -- Nachman Shai, MK, former IDF Spokesperson
