Description

From The Publisher:

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.
