Israel: A History by Martin Gilbert

Israel: A History by Martin Gilbert

Israel is a small and relatively young country, but its turbulent history has placed it squarely at the centre of the world stage for most of this century.

"Rich in detail.. a grand, heroic narrative" * The Times Literary Supplement *
"Martin Gilbert has left us in his debt, not only for a superlative history of Israel, but also for a restatement of the classic vision of Zion, in which a Middle East without guns is not a bedtime story but an imperative long overdue. This is the vision for which Yitzhak Rabin gave his life. This book is tribute to his memory" -- Jonathan Sacks * The Times *
"The most comprehensive account of Israeli history yet published" -- Efraim Karsh * Sunday Telegraph *
"Not just an invaluable piece of historical research, it is also a joy to read... Required reading for anyone who wants to understand that most extraordinary and perplexing country" * Jewish Chronicle *

Sir Martin Gilbert was Winston Churchill's official biographer, and one of Britain's leading historians. His The Holocaust: The Jewish Tragedy is considered the classic work on the subject, and he is the author of more than sixty other books, including Churchill: A Life, First World War, Second World War, Israel: A History, A History of the Twentieth Century, The Righteous, Auschwitz and the Allies and Jerusalem in the 20th Century. Martin Gilbert died in February 2015.
