Completing his acclaimed trilogy on the history of Israel, Leslie
Stein brings readers right up to contemporary events in Israel
Since the Six-Day War. Stein vividly chronicles Israel’s wars and
military engagements, but he also incorporates fascinating
assessments of many other issues, including Israel’s economic
development, the nature of the PLO and Palestinian Authority, and
Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Gaza. Furthermore, Stein
explores broader social issues, such as extremist Jewish movements
and the varying fortunes of migrants from Russia and Ethiopia, to
convey clearly a sense of the diversity and complexity of modern
Israel.
Wide-ranging and judicious, Stein’s cogent and compellingly
readable account of Israel’s recent past will engage students
and general readers alike.
