Since its founding in 1948, Israel has enjoyed a close relationship with the USA (closer at times than others), thanks largely to the substantial and vocal population of American Jews. But this, as the authors aim to show here, is only part of the picture. They claim there is a hidden dark side to the US-Israeli liaison, one responsible for a wide variety of corrupt, illegal, dangerous and unprincipled activity.

The real meat of this book is exploring how the USA responded to political pressure and Congressional bans on support to the South and Central American dictatorships (and also Apartheid South Africa) by employing Israel as a proxy to supply them as well as provide security training for them, which they were all too happy to oblige in order to expand and deepen military and political ties and develop mutual dependency.
Earlier chapters trace through the initially contentious but increasingly friendly relations on intelligence matters, but it is the proxy aid to third parties and the Nuclear weapons development program that are the most important parts.
NB: the book has recently come back into the spotlight because Leslie Cockburn is running for Congress, defenders of Israeli government policy and violence accuse her of being an anti-Semitic 'Israel hater' and cite this book as proof. Yet they don't quote any contentious paragraphs or sentences in it.
