A “fascinating and very moving” (Aaron Sorkin, award-winning
screenwriter of The West Wing and The Social Network) chronological
timeline spanning from Biblical times to today that explores one of
the most interesting countries in the world—Israel. Israel. The
small strip of arid land is 5,700 miles away but remains a
hot-button issue and a thorny topic of debate. But while everyone
seems to have a strong opinion about Israel, how many people
actually know the facts? Here to fill in the information gap is
Israeli American Noa Tishby. But “this is not your Bubbie’s
history book” (Bill Maher, host of Real Time with Bill Maher).
Instead, offering a fresh, 360-degree view, Tishby brings her
“passion, humor, and deep intimacy” (Yossi Klein Halevi, New
York Times bestselling author of Letters to My Palestinian
Neighbor) to the subject, creating an accessible and dynamic
portrait of a tiny country of outsized relevance. Through
bite-sized chunks of history and deeply personal stories, Tishby
chronicles her homeland’s evolution, beginning in Biblical times
and moving forward to cover everything from WWI to Israel’s
creation to the disputes dividing the country today. Tackling
popular misconceptions with an abundance of facts, Tishby provides
critical context around headline-generating controversies and
offers a clear, intimate account of the richly cultured country of
Israel.
