The Battle for Israel's Independence
This is an good listen, it really shows the conflict between two opposing ideologies, and the inability of both sides to see the others point of view

Best History book ever, NOT a novel
What did you like most about O Jerusalem?
Listened as research before visiting Israel. 23 hours is a huge investment but it was much easier to find the time to listen than to read, and I am so glad I did as it helped me understand much as I explored there.
It brought history to life with personal stories and most importantly I felt it was the most objective research I did. I think objectivity is hard to achieve in this part of the world.
Would you ever listen to anything by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre again?
If there was a follow up that followed the history of Israel OBJECTIVELY I would be very interested indeed. I was very sad it finished when it did.
Have you listened to any of Theodore Bikel’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Really enjoyed the narration.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No way!! Just too long.

fascinating detail
loads of really interesting anecdotes and facts are woven into this history. It is lengthy but never gets tiring.

Quite good.
Close but no cigar. Really interesting story but after a few hours the story drags on.
