Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"I can strongly recommend Jack Schwartzwald's Nine Lives of Israel...it is comprehensive, lively and informative...a real contribution to the ongoing debate about Israel's past and future." - Sir Martin Gilbert, author of Israel, A History

"In an age when so much research ignores the human factor and focuses on theories and models, it is refreshing and very welcoming to see a book that understands the importance of individuals in the shaping of history. The leaders of Zionism and Israel who are the subject of this study were all larger than life, fascinating characters and the author should be commended for reminding us of that too often forgotten fact by showing the human face of the Jewish national revival and its successful product--the state of Israel." - Professor Efraim Karsh, Kings College, London

"Solid in scholarship, written with clarity and force, Schwartzwald's book shows how the Jewish state, now widely defamed as the devil's own experiment station, was in fact one of the few redeeming events of the blood-soaked twentieth century." - Edward Alexander, co-author, The Jewish Divide over Israel

"A unique tapestry of history, biography and myth deconstruction, this 241-page volume provides a distinctive introduction to a nation that -- whether it inspires pride or incites passions -- never ceases to fascinate." - Israel Book Review
