About the Book and Author
For nearly a decade, Amy Kaplan worked on Our American Israel: The Story of an Entangled Alliance. This pathbreaking cultural history of the relationship between the two countries was published by Belknap Press of Harvard University, a special imprint dedicated to publishing books by scholars intended for wider audiences.
​
At the time of the publication, Professor Kaplan had intended to widely promote the book. Tragically, she was diagnosed with brain cancer shortly after the book's publication.
​
While the book earned significant attention without Amy's tour, her friends and colleagues recognized in 2024 that, more than 5 years after its publication, the book's lessons were more urgently needed than ever. Banding together, they worked with the publisher to release a paperback edition, organized events across the country, and now have created this website to inform and guide anyone who finds it.
