We are delighted to welcome historian Gil Troy of McGill University as our first guest blogger this week. Troy is a distinguished scholar of American presidential history as well as a widely read columnist on issues relating to the Middle East. He has combined his passions for American history and Middle East policy with an important new book on the United Nations’ notorious “Zionism is Racism” proclamation. Published last year by Oxford University Press, Troy is gaining excellent reviews for Moynihan’s Moment: America’s Fight Against Zionism as Racism. In my review of Moynihan’s Moment last month for The Brandeis Brief, I pointed out that it has important lessons for the present moment in American foreign policy. We are looking forward to hearing more from McGill’s distinguished historian, who boasts the additional credential of being a brother of our own Tevi Troy, a member of LDB’s board of directors.
