Interpretation To Books Ô Jérusalem
This book recounts, moment by moment, the process that gave birth to the state of Israel. Collins & Lapierre weave a tapestry of shattered hopes, valor & fierce pride as the Arabs, Jews & British collide in their fight for control of Jerusalem. O Jerusalem! meticulously recreates this historic struggle. It penetrates the battle from the inside, exploring each party's interests, intentions & concessions as the city of their dreams teeters on the brink of destruction. From the Jewish fighters & their heroic commanders to the Arab chieftain whose death in battle doomed his cause along with the Mufti of Jerusalem's support for Hitler and the extermination of the Jews, but inspired a generation of Palestinians, O Jerusalem! tells the 3-dimensional story of this high-stakes, emotional conflict.Point Epithetical Books Ô Jérusalem

You can also find this review on-https://wp.me/p7GC6G-27zNone of the men in the Egyptian Foreign Ministry really meant to be taken literally in threatening to drive the Jews into the sea. But they failed to remember that their foes had just seen six million of their kind driven into Hitlers oven. (O Jerusalem!)Some countries fight for their freedom while some, like Israel, for their birth.I cannot even begin to tell you the gem this book, O Jerusalem!, is. With more than three years of it lyingVery well written. Almost a page turner on a very serious subject. The coming into being of Israel in 1947/1948. Very, very detailed though. Too much to my liking. The authors spoke to many people who were in charge back then both on Arab, Israel, UK and US side. A great achievement. They tell the story almost hour by hour and even describe what clothes people were wearing. Rather unbiased. Great novel, a less great history book. I was looking for a broader view on Jerusalem and the conflict in
Wonderfully written account of Israel's war for independence 1947 -48. What I particularly liked about it is the objective view of the conflict from all sides. Having just returned from Jerusalem, where I stayed right inside Jaffa's Gate, the descriptions of the fighting were very real to me.
I don't think any war book can come as close to this book, in terms of research and neutrality. I would certainly count it amongst the best books I've read so far. History has become my escape now.
Wow! Just completed this long book!!O Jerusalem deals with the Arab-Israeli war for Jerusalem during 1947-48, or also called as, the "War of Independence" by Israel. The book's narrative begins (apart from a Prologue) with the successful passing of the UN Partition Plan, of the Palestinian region under the British Mandate at that time, to form two separate States, on November 29, 1947. The book ends with the region's history as on July 17, 1948; along with an Epilogue.I so much loved the
Classic, must read book, about the struggle and hope that eventually led to the birth of Israel. Rather than crying on who took whose land, it brings out the example of large unorganised & split group one one side and a small but fiercely determined group on the other..........and all the mechanism of pull & push by other western powers. It also brings out the apathy shown by the middle east and arab rulers in coming to the aid of their bretheren........a costly mistake which they can
