"The tumultuous early years of the young Jewish state are brought to vivid life through the eyes of two German Jewish brothers. Arie survived the Holocaust in Europe.

I really enjoyed the characters’ personal stories and how their lives intertwined. That kept me engaged the entire book. I really do not know much of Israel’s history, and the military aspects and forming the country seemed a little dull and boring to me at times.

*I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.* ( )
