Why Does Such A Small Country Speak To So Many Global Concerns? More Pressingly: Why Does Israel Make The Decisions It Does? And What Lies In Its Future?We Cannot Answer These Questions Until We Understand Israels People And The Questions And Conflicts, The Hopes And Desires, That Have Animated Their Conversations And Actions. Though Israels History Is Rife With Conflict, These Conflicts Do Not Fully Communicate The Spirit Of Israel And Its People: They Give Short Shrift To The Dream That Gave Birth To The State, And To The Vision For The Jewish People That Was At Its Core. Guiding Us Through The Milestones Of Israeli History, Gordis Relays The Drama Of The Jewish Peoples Story And The Creation Of The State. Cleareyed And Erudite, He Illustrates How Israel Became A Cultural, Economic And Military Powerhousebut Also Explains Where Israel Made Grave Mistakes And Traces The Long History Of Israels Deepening Isolation.With Israel, Public Intellectual Daniel Gordis Offers Us A Brief But Thorough Account Of The Cultural, Economic, And Political History Of This Complex Nation, From Its Beginnings To The Present. Accessible, Levelheaded, And Rigorous, Israel Sheds Light On The Israels Past So We Can Understand Its Future. The Result Is A Vivid Portrait Of A People, And A Nation, Reborn.
