À propos de cet audio
“A deeply reported, deeply personal history of Zionism and Israel that does something few books even attempt: It balances the strength and weakness, the idealism and the brutality, the hope and the horror, that has always been at Zionism’s heart.”—Ezra Klein, The New York Times
Winner of the Natan Book Award, the National Jewish Book Award, and the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award
Ari Shavit’s riveting work draws on historical documents, interviews, and private diaries and letters, as well as his own family’s story, to create a narrative larger than the sum of its parts: both personal and of profound historical dimension. As he examines the complexities and contradictions of the Israeli condition, Shavit asks difficult but important questions: Why did Israel come to be? How did it come to be? Can it survive?
Culminating with an analysis of the issues and threats that Israel is facing, My Promised Land uses the defining events of the past to shed new light on the present. Shavit’s analysis of Israeli history provides a landmark portrait of a small, vibrant country living on the edge, whose identity and presence play a crucial role in today’s global political landscape.

Histoire71
Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and the reports of generations of family members - mayors, judges, scholars, diplomats, and journalists - The Hundred Years' War on Palestine upends accepted interpretations of the conflict, which tend, at best, to describe a tragic clash between two peoples with claims to the same territory. Instead, Khalidi traces a hundred years of colonial war on the Palestinians, waged first by the Zionist movement and then Israel, but backed by Britain and the United States, the great powers of the age.

I vehemently disagree with many of the conclusions of the author and strongly opposed some of the wording used to describe events.
in spite of all of that this has been the most interesting book that I've listened to in the last little while.
that being said, there's a great danger in this book. the author, a lefty Zionist, provides unfavorable quotes for the enemies of the Zionist Enterprise.
for me, a grandson of an Irgon fighter on one side and a sole survivor of the Holocaust on the other side this book was exciting and infuriating at the same time.
strongly recommend.
