I felt I was there

Bikel's wonderful narration brings this story to life. Listening to this book provides a birds eye view of the birth of Israel. Terrific detail on the personalities and day-to-day battles from both sides...Arab and Israeli.

Moving reread in this day.

I would recommend this as a clear and moving portrayal of a generations-long conflict, which has been stirred up again even today.
The reader is excellent.
