An Ambiguous Partnership
Non-Zionists and Zionists in America, 1939-1948

Menahem Kaufman 		While the history of Zionism in America is well documented, the story of non-Zionist activities in America is less well known. An Ambiguous Partnership now tells that story.
Dr. Menahem Kaufman gives a detailed account of how American public figures and Jewish organizations, self-defined as non-Zionists, were influenced by changing attitudes in American society and government towards the Zionist struggle and by the problem of Holocaust survivors in Europe. This study describes the non-Zionists involvement in the political processes in Washington and the United Nations, which eventually brought about the establishment of the State of Israel.		 "Kaufman's meticulous study of the changing course of non-Zionist attitudes and activities during the decade that saw the destruction of European Jewry and the establishment of the State of Israel makes available . . . an important piece of American Jewish history."
