Customer Reviews

very informative book about Israel

Apparently there are some extraordinarily ignorant people who think that the State of Israel is a racist, horrible, etc. country that has no reason to exist. However, there are some decent and good people who think otherwise. This book proves that point. It shows the hardships and travails that the Jewish people had to overcome in order to become the peace-loving nation that it is. In general, it is a excellent book to have on your bookshelf.

Highly recommended reading for students of Israeli history

Yehoshua, Haim Gouri, Amox Oz, Haim Hefer, Shoshana Damari, Yizhar Smilansky, Yafi Dayan, Yoram Kantuk, and "Brin" Adan.
