Full Description
Here is the classic
retelling of the spellbinding events of the birth of Israel. Moment by
moment, Collins and Lapierre weave a brilliant tapestry of shattered
hopes, fierce pride, and breathtaking daring as the Arabs, Jews, and
British collide in their fight for control of Jerusalem. O Jerusalem! meticulously recreates this historic struggle.
The Jews
From the commanders — Ben Gurion and Golda Meir — to the soldiers,
rabbinical students, and refugees taken directly from their ships to
fight
The Arabs
From the explosives expert planting bombs
to the charismatic chieftain whose death in battle doomed the Arab
cause but inspired a generation of Palestinians
The British
From the legacy of peacekeeping after General Allenby's conquest of Jerusalem to their departure in the face of the onslaught
O Jerusalem! is a towering testament to the fiery birth
of Israel and an unforgettable tale of faith and violence, of betrayal
and indomitable courage.
