Israel by Barry Rubin
Provides a well-rounded introduction to Israel - a definitive account of the nation's past, its often controversial present, and more. This title is organized around six major themes: land and people, history, society, politics, economics, and culture.
“Written in an easily accessible format for the layman, that has covered Israel in all of its facets. . . A great accomplishment. . . . The comprehensive look Rubin takes at everything from the political to the social, religious and cultural (the changing role of women in literature comes to mind) stands out as introducing Israel anew to even those who thought they understood the country.”—Sam Sokol, Jerusalem Post
“There have been many hundreds of books for and against Israel but no volume presenting the essential information about its domestic politics, its society, as well as its cultural life and its economy. This gap has now been filled.”—Walter Laqueur, author of A History of Zionism
