Obsáhlá kniha seznamuje s historií Izraele od vzniku politického sionismu v 19. století až do současnosti. Nejsou to jen dějiny válek, jsou to i dějiny nesmírné touhy židovského národa po vlastní zemi, dějiny budování prosperujícího hospodářství, osidlování a vytváření vztahů Izraele k okolnímu světu.

Offering a clear and compelling exploration of the Jewish state, this book provides essential background for understanding its complexities. It presents accessible insights that enhance appreciation of the historical and cultural context surrounding Israel, making it a valuable resource for readers seeking to deepen their knowledge of this significant topic.
When this encyclopedic history of the Jews was first published in 1958, it was hailed as one of the great works of its kind, a study that not only chronicled an assailed and enduring people, but assessed its astonishing impact on the modern world. Now this scholarly and comprehensive book has been massively revised and updated by its author, a professor of modern history at the George Washington University and one of the most respected authorities on the lives and times of the Jewish people.The new edition casts additional light on the milestones of the Jewish saga from the eighteenth century to the close of the twentieth: the Jews' emergence from the ghetto and into the heart of Western society, the debate between the voices of tradition, assimilation, and Zionism; virtual destruction during the Holocaust; and troubled rebirth in Israel. Here, too, are evocative portraits of today's disapora, from the Jews of America to the embattled communities of the former Soviet Union and the Third World.
