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.
