The book follows developments in Israeli cultural life
and Jewish immigration; it documents day-to-day life in peacetime and war
- from the War of Independence to the Six Day War and the Gulf War in the
early 1990s; it covers the strained efforts to unite Israelis,
Palestinians and the Arab states up to the 1993 peace treaty - and the
assassination of Itzhak Rabin. Generously embellished
with rare photographs, maps and illustrations, this book
is the portrait of a country shaped by a past full of
religious, political and economic conflict. 617 pages. |
