History of International Relations, Diplomacy and Intelligence, 23(History of International Relations Library, 35)During the decade following its independence, Israel concentrated efforts upon the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union, hoping to purchase arms, obtain economic assistance and receive large-scale immigration. In 1957 Israel maintained only seven embassies, six in Europe and North America. Yet by 1963 Israel had 22 embassies in Africa, creating ties that for another decade withstood Arab influence, the impact of the Cold War and heightened African nationalism. At its zenith Israel conducted relations with 33 Black African states. How did this come about? Zach Levey presents the first archive-based analysis of Israels strategy on the continent, from entry in the mid-1950s to the break in 1973, and examines Israeli diplomacy in the aftermath of that rupture.Table of ContentsAcknowledgementsPreface Introduction Chapter One: Opening to Ghana and Entry to Africa: 1957-1967Chapter Two: Ethiopia: East Africa and the Red SeaChapter Three: The Congo: Foothold in Central Africa Chapter Four: Nigerian ConundrumChapter Five: Decade in UgandaChapter Six: Rupture: October - November 1973 Chapter Seven: Israels African Diplomacy: 1974-1976 Conclusion BibliographyIndexAbout the AuthorZach Levey is senior lecturer in the School of Political Science at the University of Haifa.
