About Alan Dershowitz
Alan Dershowitz is a Brooklyn native who has been called “the best-known criminal lawyer in the world,” “America’s most public Jewish defender” and “Israel’s single most visible defender – the Jewish state’s lead attorney in the court of public opinion.” He’s published over 100 articles in magazines and journals such as The New York Times Magazine, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Harvard Law Review and the Yale Law Journal, and more than 300 of his articles have appeared in syndication in 50 national daily newspapers. Professor Dershowitz is also the author of 27 fiction and non-fiction works, which have been translated into over 13 languages.

“I had to write The Case for Israel, even though nobody has to write The Case for Canada, or The Case for New Zealand, or The Case for France or [The Case for] England, because the case against Israel was being so prominently featured on American university campuses, and it was based on such ignorance that I had to get the liberal case for Israel out there based on facts.”
