For\u003cbr\u003e two millennia the Jews, dispersed all over the world, prayed for a return to\u003cbr\u003e Zion. Until the nineteenth century, that dream seemed a fantasy, but then a\u003cbr\u003e secular Zionist movement was born and soon the initial trickle of Jewish\u003cbr\u003e immigrants to Palestine turned into a flood as Jews fled persecution in Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom these beginnings, preeminent historian Martin\u003cbr\u003e Gilbert traces the events and personalities that would lead to the sudden,\u003cbr\u003e dramatic declaration of Statehood in May 1948. From that point on, Israel's\u003cbr\u003e history has been dominated by conflict: Suez, the Six Day War, the Yom Kippur\u003cbr\u003e War, the Lebanon and the Intifada.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsing contemporary documents and\u003cbr\u003e eyewitness accounts, and drawing on his own intimate knowledge of the country\u003cbr\u003e and its people, Martin Gilbert weaves together a riveting, page-turning history\u003cbr\u003e of a powerful and proud nation, from the struggles of its pioneers in the nineteenth century up to the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49568727236881,"sku":"GOR011640232","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49795452207377,"sku":"CIN0688123635G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50124918882577,"sku":"CIN0688123635VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50984072610065,"sku":"NIN9780688123635","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51586777841937,"sku":"GOR006866145","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0688123635.jpg?v=1751199660"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-gilbert-m.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
