More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Just over 100 years ago, Theodor Herzl launched the Zionist Movement. They called for a Jewish State in their ancestral land, Palestine. Fifty years later, the State of Israel came into being. Israel was established so that Jews anywhere in the world could have a homeland of their own. After independence, that process began with the in gathering of three quarters of a million Jews from Arab lands. As Communism disintegrated, more than a million Jews emigrated from the Soviet Union. Despite war and terror, Israel has sought peace through both secret and public negotiations. These efforts continue to this day, despite two major Palestinian uprisings.

Format:Hardcover
Crammed full of pictures, pull out supplements, careful facsimiles of letters, posters, diaries and the Balfour declaration - there is much here to stir the interest. If you had hoped for some ground breaking research from the author or some new insights into Jewish history though I think as I was you'll be largely disappointed. More suitable for internet savvy (concentration challenged) teenagers and would be tourists to Israel than students of Middle Eastern history - though it has some value for the latter too.
Format:Hardcover
A fantastic review of the modern revival of Israel with interesting copies of posters and letters etc that can be folded out.

wow is all i can say.
this book is amazing, it contains replicas of vital documents as well as slightly more personal documents in the run up to the state of israel being created & throughout its 60yr history.
this book is a must have for those of all ages interested in the state of israel, this isn't an indepth study of the country & its origins, its your own personal museum collection of articles.
