Eisenhower & Cambodia: Diplomacy, Covert Action and the Origins of the Second Indochina War by William J. Rust

Abstract

of time when Truman and Stalin found themselves helping to midwife Israel’s longawaited moment. In mid-1949, however, as the Cold War came into full bloom and Stalin pursued a murderously anti-Semitic campaign in the USSR, the Soviet regime turned vehemently against Israel. That dismal turn of events stood in notable contrast to the remarkable story that preceded it. This is a first-rate book and deserves a wide readership.
