"Leon Uris is a master storyteller and this book is no exception. Although published in 1983, the content is current to the present day reader as it chronicles the European anti-semitism leading to the "exodus" in the 19th and 20th century to Palestine and the creation of modern-day Israel. Translated into 50 languages, it should keep the interest of most to the last page."

" One of my most favorite books. "

" A magnificent historical novel about the birth of Israel. "
— M., 2/9/2014 -
" I finally finished this after many stops and starts. Parts of it were fascinating and I now feel that I have a much better understanding of the incredible hardships faced in building a new Israel. Now I find myself wondering which parts of the story are true and which fictionalized. Definitely not beach reading material (it took a lot of work for me to get through), but worth it for the education. "

" My favorite of Leon Uris' books, all of which I've loved. "
— Taylor, 2/5/2014 -
" Read when I was 19 the first time. Was so hooked I read while driving home from work one night! "
— Christine, 2/1/2014 -
" This was a thorough (!) description of a subject I didn't know much about. I learned a lot, but have no sense of its objectivity. The style of writing felt somehow dated, and had oddly placed exclamation points which kind of bugged me. "
— Lori, 1/21/2014 -
" Story of the formation of the Nation of Israel "
— Paddyjj, 1/10/2014 -
" Made me want to read a lot more by Uris. Helped me understand the courage and determination of the Jewish people. "
— Donna, 1/10/2014 -
" Most amazing book in all aspects. I was sad to put it down. Could not get enough. "
— Josh, 12/12/2013 -
" One of my favorites ever! "
— Amykweber, 12/9/2013 -
" Can't wait to see the movie again. Again, it's not what I expected. It's dated especially with the Kitty character, but it wetted my appetite for some real history of the era. "
— Jeffrey, 12/2/2013 -
" Good story teller of the 60's and 70's "
— Linda, 11/30/2013 -
" One of my all time favorite books. A must read! "
— Suzanne, 11/13/2013 -
" I could have done without the crappy subplot with the American nurse. But I won't dock it a star for that because the rest was very compelling. It taught me a lot about Israel's formation that I still remember years later. (Tip: get through the first 50 pages or so before you put it down.) "
— Jacqueline, 9/3/2013 -
" So far, it is a great book and it is helping me to figure out the middle-east conflict. The print is very fine, though, and it is taking me a while to get through it. "
— Jt, 7/5/2013 -
" The 80s classic on the founding of the state of Israel. Might be worth revisiting to see how it holds up after 40 years. "
— Denise, 4/16/2013 -
" Great read on how modern Israel was created, very entertaining and even more informative. Sorry it's over. "
— Bernie, 4/1/2013 -
" I simply loved it. It's one of the best books I ever read. "
— Enoch, 3/29/2013 -
" It is amazing..I can not describe into words about this love novel "
— Isreal, 2/3/2013 -
" I have yet to find a Uris book that I didn't love. I read this one some time in the mid 70s and thought seriously about moving to Israel after reading it I was so moved by the portrail of the strength of caracter of the people. "
— Brian, 1/15/2013 -
" The best book ever - so thrilling, couldn't put it down. "
— Janis, 12/23/2012 -
" Wonderful story, read while I was in college (I think) "
— Rosemary, 11/3/2012 -
" This book is a history lesson in addition to a compelling story. It's very relevant to current times, considering the current state of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians "
— Donna, 10/24/2012 -
" Very informative. Outstanding historical fiction "
— John, 10/5/2012 -
" Tragic, inspiring, political, and does require an org chart so you can keep track of who's who for a while. Then I saw the movie with Paul Newman and Eva Marie Saint. I recommend you read the book first. "
— Susie, 9/19/2012 -
" Great follow-up to The Source. "
— Stacey, 8/26/2012 -
" One of my first adult reads. Still find myself thinking about it when listening to various news stories from Israel. "
