The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy - John J. Mearsheimer & Stephen M. Walt

Some say this book is anti-semitic but I think the authors give a fair view of the situation. The lobby, which is made up of many pro-Israel groups, is strong and results in much financial aid to Israel. Resultant foreign policies tend to benefit Israel, sometimes at the expense of the U.S. Unfortunately, the authors' solutions to remedy the situation are probably unworkable.
