This is the author's own story of the rebirth of Israel as an independent nation in the original Promised Land. It is among the most stirring dramas of modern times. After a colorful summary of the story of the tribe of Abraham since its appearance some 4000 years ago and a fascinating account of Jewish pioneering settlement in Palestine before this century, the narrative plunges into the rise of modern Zionism, the British Mandate years, the creation of the State in 1948, and, throughout, the unceasing threats to Israel's existence.
