Israel is a small & relatively young country but its turbulent history has placed it squarely at the centre of the world stage for most of this century. For two millennia the Jews dispersed all over the world prayed for a return to Zion. Until the nineteenth century that dream seemed a fantasy but then a secular Zionist movement was born & soon the initial trickle of Jewish immigrants to Palestine turned into a flood as Jews fled persecution in Europe. From these beginnings Martin Gilbert traces the events & personalities that would lead to the sudden dramatic declaration of Statehood in May 1948. From that point on Israels history has been dominated by conflict: Suez the Six Day War the Yom Kippur War the Lebanon & the Intifada. Using contemporary documents & eyewitness accounts drawing on his own intimate knowledge of the country & its people Martin Gilbert weaves together a seamless page-turning history of a powerful & proud nation with a new chapter to cover the last ten years bringing the story right up to date: the continuing conflicts & the ever-present avenues of hope. ...

Israel has changed. The country was born in Europe's shadow haunted by the Holocaust & inspired by the Enlightenment. But for Israelis today Europe is hardly relevant & the country's ties to the broader West even to America are fraying. Where is Israel heading? How do citizens of an increasingly diverse nation see themselves globally & historically? In this revealing portrait of the new Israel Diana Pinto presents a country simultaneously moving forward & backward looking outward & turning in on itself. In business Israel is forging new links with the giants of Asia & its booming science & technology sectors are helping define the future for the entire world. But in politics & religion Israelis are increasingly self-absorbed building literal & metaphorical walls against hostile neighbors & turning to ancient religious precepts for guidance here & now. Pinto captures the new moods & mindsets the anxieties & hopes of Israelis today in sharply drawn sketches of symbolically charged settings. She takes us on the roads to Jerusalem to border control at Ben Gurion Airport to a major Israeli conference in Jerusalem to a hill overlooking the Dome of the Rock & Temple Mount to the heart of Israel's high-tech economy & to sparkling new malls & restaurants where people of different identities share nothing more than a desire to ignore one another. Vivid & passionate but underpinned by deep analysis this is a profound & sometimes unsettling account of a country that is no longer where we might think. ...
