Acclaimed Author Confronts the Myths and Misinformation About the Rebirth of Israel

RALEIGH, N.C. - April 5, 2019 - PRLog -- In May of 1948, as the British Empire ended their mandate and withdrew from Palestine, five Arab nations sat on the border - ready to invade. At that moment, David Ben-Gurion, the leader of the Jews, stood in Tel Aviv and declared the establishment of the State of Israel – marking the rebirth of a Jewish nation in the Holy Land after 2,000 years in exile.

In I Am Cyrus: Harry S. Truman and the Rebirth of Israel, author Craig von Buseck tells the epic story of Israel's rebirth— promises made, promises broken, and ultimately the fulfillment of the ancient prophecy that this people would indeed return to their Promised Land.

"I first heard the story of Harry Truman and Eddie Jacobson in 1988 when I listened to a tape from Friends of Israel," Craig explains, "I never forgot it. In 2012, I sensed that I needed to write the book that had been on my heart for all those years."

"I began with a research trip to the Harry S. Truman presidential library in the fall of that year. That was followed by five years of research and writing."

Craig worked diligently to support the claims of the book – and to refute the propaganda and misinformation often heard in the media, in colleges, and in many public schools – with more than 1,200 citations in the end notes.

Beginning with the birth of both the Zionist Movement and Harry Truman in the 1880s, I Am Cyrus chronicles the growth of Zionism and the unlikely emergence of Harry Truman on the American political stage. It then describes the prophetic and historic days leading up to the rebirth of Israel - and the vital role Harry Truman and his former business partner, Eddie Jacobson, played in those crucial moments.
