Coca-Cola, Black Panthers, and Phantom Jets: Israel in the American Orbit, 1967–1973

In this book talk, historian Oz Frankel examines the period of the late 1960s as a unique moment when Israel became more closely entwined with the United States not just as a strategic ally but also through its intensifying intimacy with American culture, society, and technology. Taking an expansive view of Israeli–American encounters, historian Oz Frankel reveals their often unexpected consequences, including, for example, the ripple effects that the rise of Black Power had on both extremes of Israeli politics.
