NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW AND ECONOMIST BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR “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Book Award, and the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award Ari Shavit’s riveting work, now updated with new material, draws on historical documents, interviews, and private diaries and letters, as well as his own family’s story, to create a narrative larger than the sum of its parts: both personal and of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.

Contested Lands
Author: Sugata Bose
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674046455
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
The search for durable peace in lands torn by ethno-national conflict is among the most urgent issues of international politics. Looking closely at five flashpoints of regional crisis, Sumantra Bose asks the question upon which our global future may depend: how can peace be made, and kept, between warring groups with seemingly incompatible claims? Global in scope and implications but local in focus and method, Contested Lands critically examines the recent or current peace processes in Israel-Palestine, Kashmir, Bosnia, Cyprus, and Sri Lanka for an answer. Israelis and Palestinians, Turkish and Greek Cypriots, Bosnia's Muslims, Serbs, and Croats, Sinhalese and Tamil Sri Lankans, and pro-independence, pro-Pakistan, and pro-India Kashmiris share homelands scarred by clashing aspirations and war. Bose explains why these lands became zones of zero-sum conflict and boldly tackles the question of how durable peace can be achieved. The cases yield important general insights about the benefits of territorial self-rule, cross-border linkages, regional cooperation, and third-party involvement, and the risks of a deliberately gradual ("incremental") strategy of peace-building. Rich in narrative and incisive in analysis, this book takes us deep into the heartlands of conflict--Jerusalem, Kashmir's Line of Control, the divided cities of Mostar in Bosnia and Nicosia in Cyprus, Sri Lanka's Jaffna peninsula. Contested Lands illuminates how chronic confrontation can yield to compromise and coexistence in the world's most troubled regions--and what the United States can do to help.

King of Israel
Author: Glen P. Carlin
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1038317576
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
In King of Israel, Glen Carlin delves deeply into biblical eschatology, focusing on the ultimate survival of a fragment of Jewish people, known as the “remnant of Israel”, who will be redeemed by their Messiah at the end of the Great Tribulation period. Mr. Carlin walks readers through the chronology of the persecution of the Jewish people by Satanic world powers. Led by the Antichrist, ten kingdoms invade the Holy Land during the Great Tribulation. The Israelites are forced to escape Jerusalem and Judea and their brethren Jews endure a worldwide expulsion from their adopted countries. Under the LORD’s protection, they are gathered at Mount Nebo in the Middle East. There, they will recover the Ark of the Covenant and the Temple vessels removed by the prophet Jeremiah from Solomon’s Temple. At Mt. Nebo, they also recover the body of Moses and are then led by the prophet Elijah into the wilderness, where they are reconciled with the LORD. Here they are given grace and the veil covering their eyes is lifted to recognize their Messiah, Jesus. At the battle of Armageddon, the remnant of Israel is victorious returning to possess the Promised Land. Built on scripture and historical research, King of Israel pulls together prophecy from the Old and New Testament, demonstrating the Grand Narrative of Redemption written by God and revealed through His Word. It’s a fascinating storyline and a message of hope and promise to His people today and in the future.

Harpoon
Author: Nitsana Darshan-Leitner
Publisher: Hachette Books
ISBN: 0316399027
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
A revelatory account of the cloak-and-dagger Israeli campaign to target the finances fueling terror organizations--an effort that became the blueprint for U.S. efforts to combat threats like ISIS and drug cartels. ISIS boasted $2.4 billion of revenue in 2015, yet for too long the global war on terror overlooked financial warfare as an offensive strategy. "Harpoon," the creation of Mossad legend Meir Dagan, directed spies, soldiers, and attorneys to disrupt and destroy money pipelines and financial institutions that paid for the bloodshed perpetrated by Hamas, Hezbollah, and other groups. Written by an attorney who worked with Harpoon and a bestselling journalist, Harpoon offers a gripping story of the Israeli-led effort, now joined by the Americans, to choke off the terrorists' oxygen supply, money, via unconventional warfare.
