520 Michael Oren served as the Israeli ambassador to the
United States from 2009 to 2013. An American by birth and
a historian by training, Oren arrived at his diplomatic
post just as Benjamin Netanyahu, Barack Obama, and Hillary
Clinton assumed office. During Oren's tenure in office,
Israel and America grappled with the Palestinian peace
process, the Arab Spring, and existential threats to
Israel posed by international terrorism and the Iranian
nuclear program. Forged in the Truman administration,
America's alliance with Israel was subjected to enormous
strains, and its future was questioned by commentators in
both countries. On more than one occasion, the
friendship's very fabric seemed close to unraveling. Ally
is the story of that enduring alliance--and of its divides
--written from the perspective of a man who treasures his
American identity while proudly serving the Jewish State
he has come to call home. No one could have been better
suited to strengthen bridges between the United States and
Israel than Michael Oren--a man equally at home jumping
out of a plane as an Israeli paratrooper and discussing
Middle East history on TV's Sunday morning political
shows. Oren interweaves the story of his personal journey
with behind-the-scenes accounts of fateful meetings
between President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu, high
-stakes summits with the Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas,
and diplomatic crises that intensified the controversy
surrounding the world's most contested strip of land.
