In 1957 Israel maintained only seven embassies, six in Europe and North America. Yet by 1963 Israel had 22 embassies in Africa, creating ties that for another decade withstood Arab influence, the impact of the Cold War and heightened African nationalism. At its zenith Israel conducted relations with 33 Black African states. How did this come about? Zach Levey presents the first archive-based analysis of Israel's strategy on the continent, from entry in the mid-1950s to the break in 1973, and examines Israeli diplomacy in the aftermath of that rupture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003ePreface \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003cbr\u003eChapter One: Opening to Ghana and Entry to Africa: 1957-1967\u003cbr\u003eChapter Two: Ethiopia: East Africa and the Red Sea\u003cbr\u003eChapter Three: The Congo: Foothold in Central Africa \u003cbr\u003eChapter Four: Nigerian Conundrum\u003cbr\u003eChapter Five: Decade in Uganda\u003cbr\u003eChapter Six: Rupture: October - November 1973 \u003cbr\u003eChapter Seven: Israel's African Diplomacy: 1974-1976 \u003cbr\u003eConclusion \u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003cbr\u003eZach Levey is senior lecturer in the School of Political Science at the University of Haifa.
