Au Revoir, Israel

About the Book

"President Earl Eastwood’s unimpeachable integrity contrasts him with is corruptible political rivals, some on his own Democratic Party. Resisting the easy morality of Washington, the first African- American President employs truth, transparency and street smarts to buttress the authoritative power of his high office. Israel’s provocative attack on Iranian nuclear sites creates a major crisis. Israel asks that America honor its commitment to defend the Jewish state against an Iranian counter-attack. But Eastwood encounters inexplicable resistance from key congressional members who have never turned their backs on Israel. He discovers his rivals’ shameless motives and moves against them. Can a president of high character overpower Washington’s endemic ethical morass that singes the image of America in the minds of its allies, and especially its citizens?"
