A groundbreaking and authoritative examination of Israel by one of
the most influential columnists writing about the Middle East
today. Facing unprecedented internal and external pressures, Israel
today is at a moment of existential crisis. My Promised Land tells
the story of Israel as it has never been told before, and asks
difficult but important questions: Why did Israel come to be? How
did it come to be? And can Israel survive? Through revealing
stories of significant events and lives of ordinary individuals -
the youth group leader who recognised the potential of Masada as a
powerful symbol for Zionism; the young farmer who bought an orange
grove from his Arab neighbour in the 1920s, and helped to create a
booming economy in Palestine; the engineer who was instrumental in
developing Israel's nuclear program; the religious Zionists who
started the settler movement - Israeli journalist Ari Shavit
illuminates the issues and threats that Israel is currently facing
and uses the defining events of the past to shed new light on the
present. The result is a landmark portrait of a small, vibrant
country living on the edge, whose identity and presence play a
crucial role in today's global political landscape.
