Description

A new and powerful influence has emerged on the world scene, involving two of the world’s most improbable allies: Israel, a state founded by a people in flight from racism, and South Africa, a state founded on ideas of racial superiority. James Adams gives the first detailed account of this strange alliance. He shows how, for very different reasons, the two states have become increasingly estranged from the international community and in their isolation have found new and unexpected common interests. Israel has provided South Africa with vital help in military and espionage matters, and the two countries have forged close links in the arms trade, economic development and nuclear programmes. But, most bizarre of all, this alliance has also won them new friends in black Africa. The Unnatural Alliance is a controversial book, in which James Adams draws aside the veil of official policy to reveal this startling phenomenon, and to warn of its possible consequences in international affairs.
