The second president of the United States, John Adams, declared toward the end of his life, 'For I really wish the Jews again in Judea an independent nation.' Now internationally renowned Middle East expert and biblical scholar Mike Evans traces the efforts of American Christians to help establish a Jewish State through a 'prophetic memorial,' a declaration presented to five successive American presidents outlining the biblical mandate for a Jewish homeland. Evans describes in fascinating detail the events that led in 1948 to the birth of the nation of Israel. The hatred of the Arab world for the West-and toward America in particular-can be traced entirely to this nation's identification with Israel.
