À propos de cet audio

 AUDIO EXCLUSIVE: INCLUDES THE SONG “ELATION STATION” BY INFECTED MUSHROOM!

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A “fascinating and very moving” (Aaron Sorkin, award-winning screenwriter of The West Wing and The Social Network) chronological timeline spanning from Biblical times to today that explores one of the most interesting countries in the world—Israel.

Israel. The small strip of arid land is 5,700 miles away but remains a hot-button issue and a thorny topic of debate. But while everyone seems to have a strong opinion about Israel, how many people actually know the facts?

Here to fill in the information gap is Israeli American Noa Tishby. But “this is not your Bubbie’s history book” (Bill Maher, host of Real Time with Bill Maher). Instead, offering a fresh, 360-degree view, Tishby brings her “passion, humor, and deep intimacy” (Yossi Klein Halevi, New York Times bestselling author of Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor) to the subject, creating an accessible and dynamic portrait of a tiny country of outsized relevance. Through bite-sized chunks of history and deeply personal stories, Tishby chronicles her homeland’s evolution, beginning in Biblical times and moving forward to cover everything from WWI to Israel’s creation to the disputes dividing the country today. Tackling popular misconceptions with an abundance of facts, Tishby provides critical context around headline-generating controversies and offers a clear, intimate account of the richly cultured country of Israel.

Ms. Tishby takes an incredibly complex and nuanced situation and presents it in a way that is easily accessible and thoroughly engaging. Of course she is giving an Israeli perspective, but through her clear reliance on factual history as well as personal stories and perspective, she presents an overview that most people would enjoy. Thank you so much for this book. I hope everyone, most importantly people with no personal connection to the region, reads it.

A Wonderful Overview

I found this book easy to digest as it’s presented in a casual way. However I do have a couple of minor criticisms. First is the use of profanity. In my opinion totally unnecessary and detracts rather than adds. Second is the quality of the recording. There’s hiss throughout the reading. Though it’s not loud I find it disappointing in this day and age of digital audio. Overall I liked the book.

A Nice Primer

I learned quite a bit about the country. It is as the title said - the most misunderstood country in the world. Neat to see it from the author's eyes. An enjoyable and educational listen.

Good read

Well written, well narrated, and well worth your time to read or listen to. This should be mandatory reading in schools and universities, so that, people can understand the truth about what has actually transpired in this region (specifically Israel), and not the fake narrative being fed to them by the one-sided UN and main stream media.

Well done Noa!!

Amazing History Lesson

Overall I loved this book and Tishby’s reading of it. I think she tries to give solid context and information about an extremely misunderstood country. I wish there were citations included in the audiobook for further research/exploration into the topic.

Well told
