This book suggests that the history and theory of Israeli foreign policy challenge many of the popular assumptions of American grand strategy theory. Focusing on the tenure of Prime Minister Menachem Begin (1977-83), this study suggests why Israeli foreign relations are conceptually distinct from many of grand strategy's core assumptions. This monograph contains an appendix which contemplates how the idea of an American "Offshore Balancer" grand strategy might impact Israel and how Israeli history might challenge many paradigms that its proponents use to look at the world.
