About this listen

 O Jerusalem! is the epic drama of 1948, when Arabs and Jews fought for control of the city of Jerusalem. This story traverses centuries and continents, covering the time between WWII and the creation of the independent state of Israel. Based on five years of intensive research and thousands of interviews, this is a story of courage, terrorism, heroism, and ultimately, war.©1972 Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre (P)2003 New Millennium Audio, All Rights Reserved Israel & Palestine Judaism Middle East World War Holocaust Imperialism Refugee Iran Military Middle Ages Africa Crusade

Critic Reviews

"A history that not only clarifies the military and political events of the war but brings its human dimensions vividly to life." (The National Observer)
"A story as dramatic, as miraculous, as full of wonder as any ever told." (New York Times Book Review)

All stars

A long but brilliant narrative. All serious students of history should read/listen to this book. Behind the amazing stories that relate the first few months in the creation of the State of Israel is a hidden, but very real message - this was an absolute miracle!

The Almighty truly does work through individual lives and through communities of faithful and chosen people.

Highly recommended.
