I Did It for My Country

Michael Fischbach provides a revelatory historical account in I Did It for My Country. This volume examines the 1968 assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy by Sirhan B. Sirhan, a Palestinian immigrant. While the act was often stripped of its political context, this history explores how Sirhan's motivations were rooted in opposition to Zionism and American support for Israel. Through extensive archival research, including FBI and CIA documents, the book investigates the intersection of personal trauma, displacement, and international politics.

As a significant work of history and politics, I Did It for My Country analyzes how various governments and interest groups deliberately depoliticized the event. The text explores the impact of the Arab-Israeli conflict on domestic security and how Sirhan maintained his Palestinian nationalism throughout his imprisonment. This study serves as a critical resource for readers interested in Middle East history, international relations, and the complex political dimensions of the Israel and Palestine conflict.
