Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Now in paperback, the landmark history of Israel's first year, issued on the fiftieth anniversary of the creation of the state. The founding of Israel in 1948--one of the seminal events of the century--offers a heroic narrative with few parallels in modern history. In 1949, a controversial best-seller in Israel, Tom Segev draws on thousands of declassified documents along with personal diaries and correspondence to reconstruct the unvarnished story of Israel's first year. Segev reveals the lofty aspirations that guided the state's leaders as well as the darker side of the Zionist utopia: the friction between the early settlers and the immigrants, the lack of good-faith negotiations with the Arabs; the clash between religious and secular factions; the daily collision of the Zionist myth with the severe realities of life in the new state. Unflinching in its observations, this bold chronicle is indispensible for understanding the dilemmas that continue to confront--and divide--Israeli society.
Review:
"A fascinating read...told with acid compassion."
New York Review of Books
Review:"Should be required reading for all who want to understand the Arab-Israeli conflict. Segev has done the international community an important service."
New York Times Book Review
