Combining the revelatory insights of a cultural anthropologist, the passion of a longtime Zionist and the realism and objectivity of an eminent journalist, Walter Laqueur takes you inside Israel as it once was. In doing so, he covers the entire spectrum from the Arab-Jewish conflict to the state of the kibbutzim, the influx of Russian Jews, the meaning of the Dead Sea Scrolls, Yad Vashem and the future of the Jewish state. Laqueur examines the history and meaning of Jerusalem itself, while challenging that holy city's myths. And he answers perhaps the ultimate question: why are people who do not want to live in Jerusalem still willing to die for it?
