Trade ReviewBard (American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise) and Schwartz (a US government analyst) admit to their own pro-Zionist ideologies, and they include many fun facts, such as Israel having the highest per capita percentage of home computers (70 percent) and the world's highest per capita number of doctors and engineers. But they do not ignore or whitewash difficulties and controversies, such as investigations into Israel's role in the Sabra and Shatila massacres. * CHOICE *
