  • Camp Hoover: a Brief Report on the Lore of a Presidential Camp on Catoctin Mountain in the 1930S
    CATOCTIN MOUNTAIN PARK NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Camp Hoover: A Brief Report on the Lore of a Presidential Camp on Catoctin Mountain in the 1930s Prepared For: P. Scott Bell Chief of Resource Management Prepared By: K.C. Clay, MAIS Historian August 2018 6602 Foxville Road, Thurmont, MD 21788 | Catoctin Mountain Park | National Park Service i Abstract Confusion abounds concerning the existence of presidential retreats on Catoctin Mountain. Oral tradition insists that Hoover built a fishing camp on the mountain almost a decade prior to Roosevelt’s Shangri-La. This apparent duplication of effort is seen as a waste of taxpayer money. Instead, documental evidence indicates attempted exploitation of the federal government by a local land speculator. ii Contents Abstract ............................................................................................................................................ i Table of Figures ............................................................................................................................. iii Introduction ..................................................................................................................................... 1 Historiography ................................................................................................................................ 1 Discussion ....................................................................................................................................... 1 Search for a Camp ......................................................................................................................

  • Camp David's Shadow
    Camp David’s Shadow: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinian Question, 1977-1993 Seth Anziska Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Seth Anziska All rights reserved ABSTRACT Camp David’s Shadow: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinian Question, 1977-1993 Seth Anziska This dissertation examines the emergence of the 1978 Camp David Accords and the consequences for Israel, the Palestinians, and the wider Middle East. Utilizing archival sources and oral history interviews from across Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, the United States, and the United Kingdom, Camp David’s Shadow recasts the early history of the peace process. It explains how a comprehensive settlement to the Arab-Israeli conflict with provisions for a resolution of the Palestinian question gave way to the facilitation of bilateral peace between Egypt and Israel. As recently declassified sources reveal, the completion of the Camp David Accords—via intensive American efforts— actually enabled Israeli expansion across the Green Line, undermining the possibility of Palestinian sovereignty in the occupied territories. By examining how both the concept and diplomatic practice of autonomy were utilized to address the Palestinian question, and the implications of the subsequent Israeli and U.S. military intervention in Lebanon, the dissertation explains how and why the Camp David process and its aftermath adversely shaped the prospects of a negotiated settlement between Israelis and Palestinians in the 1990s. In linking the developments of the late 1970s and 1980s with the Madrid Conference and Oslo Accords in the decade that followed, the dissertation charts the role played by American, Middle Eastern, international, and domestic actors in curtailing the possibility of Palestinian self-determination.

Bundesarchiv, B 145 Bild-F015892-0010 / Wegmann, Ludwig / CC-BY-SA, CC BY-SA 3.0 de, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.ph p?curid=6845791 French President Charles de Gaulle (1890-1970) arrived in Washington on Friday, April 22, 1960, for a State visit comprised primarily of talks with President Dwight D. Eisenhower to prepare for the upcoming Big Four summit planned for May in Paris, the first such meeting since World War II of leaders from the U.S., Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union. General de Gaulle, leader of the Free French Forces resisting both the German occupation of France and the collaborationist Vichy government during the war, drew a warm welcome from Washingtonians that matched an equally enthusiastic embrace the people of Paris had given General Eisenhower, the supreme commander of Allied forces in western Europe during the liberation of France, on his State visit seven months earlier. De Gaulle wrote in his memoir, “All the way from the airport to Blair House I drove beside President Eisenhower to a deafening accompaniment of cheers, sirens and brass bands, amid a forest of banners and flags.” Area police estimated that 200,000 people—many of them government workers given an extended lunch hour—crowded the airport, bridge, and streets. De Gaulle remarked that the greeting, “clearly represented something fundamental.” The next morning, de Gaulle held “a vast press conference at the National Press Club,” he reported, “where most of the questions put to me concerned the 1 projected meeting of the Big Four.” The New York Times described his performance as “relaxed and informal.” On Sunday, de Gaulle flew with Eisenhower to the president’s farm in Gettysburg.
