Rated: A
Great book. Sets the historical stage for the reestablishment of the nation of Israel in Palestine. It brings to light the bigoty, hatred and atrocities suffered by the Jewish people by various nations and people from ancient times to today. One cannot recognized the determination of the Jewish people to return to their promised land without recognizing the God Who gave it to them. (
