This is a long, complex memoir about a subject that polarizes, but it's worth a read. Some familiarity about U.S.-Israeli relations and the Middle East will help, especially with references to 1967 and 1948. Oren presents a different perspective than I usually hear about President Obama and his policies, and it left me with a lot of questions and notes for additional research. Oren gets a little too creative with his pop psychological analysis of Obama and his upbringing.
Play by play recounting of Israel's last ambassador to the USA, Michael Oren. Despite being a liberal and having great sympathy and admiration for Obama, it's the story of one setback and betrayal by the Obama administration (and the many Jews who work for him) after another. Plainly written.
