Harry & Eddie: The Birth of Israel 2011

Harry and Eddie tells the largely-unknown story President Harry S. Truman's unlikely friendship with his former business partner, Eddie Jacobson, which led to the creation of Israel in 1948.



In 2008 Harry & Eddie was presented as a staged reading at Hofstra University, in conjunction with Hofstra’s Israel at 60: A Celebration, and as part of a series of politically-themed events leading up the Presidential Debate between Barack Obama and John McCain.
