5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!! Feb 23 2013
By Aubman
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Very well put together book! Sir Martin Gilbert is an excellent historian, and an excellent writer.

This book highlights events surrounding the formation of the State of Israel, and the early Zionist movement, and Britain's relationship (when it was good, and then while it was rocky) around the the First & Second World Wars.

The colour, and writing, and little replica pieces are very cool. Highly recommend this concise history/ documentary style book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book Jun 23 2008
By Kate K. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I bought this for a friend who had just come back from her first trip to Israel and wanted to know more about the history of the state. She flipped over this book -- and when I read it, I saw why. It's full of replicas of historical documents (posters, letters, even passports) with interesting, up-to-date text by one of the most respected historians in the field. This would be a great present for a Bar or Bat Mitzvah -- or for anyone interested in the modern Jewish state.

5.0 out of 5 stars Neat resource! May 16 2008
By Monsignor M. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
One of my students brought this in to share with me. It's engaging, well researched, and the fascimiles are colorful and informative. I've incorporated some of these documents into my curriculum and will more than likely buy my own copy of this book in the near future.

3.0 out of 5 stars Thin on history, thick on supplements - a sort of glitzy souvenir April 10 2010
By Charles Soper - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Crammed full of pictures, pull out supplements, careful facsimiles of letters, posters, diaries and the Balfour declaration - there is much here to stir the interest. If you had hoped for some ground breaking research from the author or some new insights into Jewish history though I think as I was you'll be largely disappointed. More suitable for internet savvy (concentration challenged) teenagers and would be tourists to Israel than students of Middle Eastern history - though it has some value for the latter too.
I'd strongly recommend his other works, especially the map atlases, if you want a detailed objective introduction to the 'glory of all lands', as the prophets describe his subject.
