My Daddy bought this for me a few years ago because he thought it was so good and he wanted to be sure I would read it. I finally got round to reading it a few weeks ago. In one of our last conversations I told him I was reading it, but I don't think he even remembered that he'd bought it for me. Funny. Now I've finished it and I can't talk to him about it.

Eban's book is a reasonably good review of Jewish history albeit very condensed. The ancient history chapters are fascinating, middle history is conventional, modern history is more cheerleading and not as insightful as I had hoped. Still, Eban's unique position in Israeli history makes this book well worth reading ... and the historic photos and illustrations are great! I have only one big quibble. Eban uncritically repeats the myth that the names of immigrants were changed at Ellis Island (because the immigration officials couldn't spell the spoken name). That is patently false. Names were recorded in immigration docs directly from the ship's manifest. The manifest was created at the port of departure and turned over to immigration officials upon landing in the US.… (meer)

L'autore rievoca la storia del popolo ebraico durante il corso dei secoli e ne spiega l'evoluzione che inizia da Abramo per snodarsi poi lungo il periodo delle diaspore, delle persecuzioni romane, della nascita dello Stato d'Isreale, degli anni della "dimenticanza" ,degli orrori subiti per colpa del delirio nazista, dei conflitti che deve affrontare nella regione del Medio Oriente fino al decollo politico-economico degli anni Settanta.
