"If you are looking to learn more about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this book, along with I Saw Ramallah is a great start. This book takes you through the Israeli's perspective on the situation and how people's opinions differ in why this is a problem and what should be done. A must-read to understand these cultural and political differences."
"The book is composed of a series of interviews Oz has conducted with Israelis from different walks of life. All of them are insightfully presented and illuminating of certain aspects of Israel's political and social turmoil; a few of them are frightening to read for the stark and brutal world view the interviewees hold -- and I do mean frightening.
Another thing that was really impressive about this book was that the author did not make any attempt to explain Israel's complicated political scene to the reader. When you think about it, perhaps the reason is that to do so would inevitably be to take sides in the various debates about the nature of the country. Instead, he presents himself openly as a participant in (rather than an "impartial" presenter of) those debates -- an uncommonly passionate and committed participant. But then this books presents an Israel that is full of uncommonly passionate and committed participants in debates that have relevance far beyond Israel.
