"What a tremendous read at this 60th anniversary of the state of Israel. This book brings to life the tragedies and triumphs of the 1948 War in Palestine/Israel, depending on your point of view. A terrorist bomb of 55 gal drum filled with rusty nails, bolts and explosive set off amid shoppers and workers catching the bus back home...the work of a Jewish terrorist group. Protecting the defeated fighters of an outpost from the crazed crowds...the task of soldiers of the Arab Legion. This book tells the good and bad on both sides pretty evenly. Personal stories of heroism and sacrifice on both sides work to put you in their place, and to have sympathy and understanding with both sides, as well as anger and disgust. Ethnic cleansing works as a strategy for both antagonists and yet, there are many examples where Arabs and Jews live together and want to remain friends. Still, in the end, the courage of the Israelis against a vastly better equipped foe brings the results hoped for."
