From the Inside Flap:
They were an explosive and unlikely team -- the beautiful Jewish princess from Beverly Hills; the handsome half-Jewish, half-Italian New York mobster; and the dashing Haganah freedom fighter, whose unyielding spirit was forged in the horror of the Holocaust.
In normal times, in an ordinary place, these three would never have come together, bound by temporal passions and spiritual desires, on a mission of consummate danger. But Jerusalem in 1947 was anything but normal - a tortured city, torn between Arab and Jew, seething with ancient antagonisms, awaiting only the withdrawal of the British forces before bursting into all-out war.
Evoking the violent world of 1947 Jerusalem with remarkable realism. creating a deeply moving love story with characters as epic as they are human, THIS YEAR IN JERUSALEM is both a document of historical relevance and a spellbinding novel of passion and adventure.
