Leon Uris's world-bestselling novel Exodus became a profound
influence on thoughts and feelings about the state of Israel.In The
Haj, the author once again portrays a tormented nation through its
living people. Haj Ibrahim - known as the Haj - is leader of the
small but strategically placed village of Tabah.Sworn enemy - and
secret friend - of Gideon Asch, Israeli settler, pioneer, fighter,
the Haj and his men are seen first in all their false courage and
manic ambition.Theirs is a world of oaths, blood, death and
vengeance.But then his association with Asch takes him elsewhere -
into diplomacy, and towards leadership of another kind... In
Exodus, Leon Uris told of the birth of a new nation.In The Haj, he
foretells the death of a race, of a faith, of peoples who have no
greater enemies than themselves, in a novel that is as violent and
turbulent as the times in which we live...
