This book takes the reader to the very soul of a nation in
conflict. The first half traces the historical internal divisions,
exploring the ways in which a nation of extraordinary, unifying
purpose became a nation of such deeply divided aspirations. It
begins with the Six Day War of 1967, an unprecedented and still
unmatched moment in Israeli history. Also chronicled is the
cascading impact of the war, from the birth of the settlement
movement in the late 1960s, to the era of """"land for peace""""
under Yitzhak Rabin in the 1990s. The second half of the book
explores Israel's three deeply divisive internal issues--
citizenship, race, and religion-- and how, in its second
half-century, the Jewish state must finally come to terms with
enormous questions of nationhood. Not simply a story of emerging
extremism, it is the story of how Israel's past is shaping its
future.
