Not much to be learned from this book of cliches, March 22, 2001 
Reviewer: Frederick James from Geneva Switzerland

"First a warning: the author is NOT the Norman Finkelstein who wrote 
The Holocaust Industry and other iconoclastic works. This one, on the 
contrary, only reproduces the official history of Israel that is now 
being debunked by the new historians and other intellectuals like 
Norman G. Finkelstein. As one example, Norman H. Finkelstein tells us 
in this book that the Israeli attempt to sink the USS Liberty in 1967 
was an honest mistake, which is inconsistent with the facts as related 
by the ship's commander. So he doesn't seem to be well informed."
