In the Land of Israel: My Family 1809-1949
by Nitza Rosovsky
"When Nitza Rosovsky's family arrived in the Holy Land at the beginning of the nineteenth century, it was even then hostile turf, both demographically and geographically. Rosovsky draws vividly—sometimes tragically, sometimes joyously—the truly amazing characters, her incandescent ancestors and relatives, who helped build modernity from ancient legend. This tender personal narrative, sometimes also tough and edgy, is deftly set into the tumultuous politics of the Arabs, the Ottomans, the British and, of course, the Jews. This is the history of Israel you have never quite read." -Martin Peretz , former Editor-in-Chief of NThe New Republicfrom 1974 to 2011 - Click here for more information and to order your copy now.
