Explanation To Books The Haj

Leon Uris retums to the land of his acclaimed  best-seller Exodus for an epic  story of hate and love, vengeance and forgiveness and  forgiveness. The Middle East is the powerful  setting for this sweeping tale of a land where revenge  is sacred and hatred noble. Where an Arab ruler  tries to save his people from destruction but  cannot save them from themselves. When violence  spreads like a plague across the lands of  Palestine--this is the time of The  Haj.

Judge Based On Books The Haj

This book reveals the complete truth about the Middle East and the hatred and destructive evil that Israel and the Jewish people are up against.No it is not racist or prejudiced.It simply tells things as they are without regard to political correctness Of course Arabists and their like will hate it,therefore. In fact it shows the character Ismail in a very favourable light and as for the assertion made that only Jews are presented in a good light,that is simply rubbish For example we read about

Finally I finished this ! Reading this book after 30 odd years after it was first published is kind of surreal. This is an account of the Arab - Israeli conflict through the eyes of an Arab-Palestine boy Ishmael. The author weaves a fictionalised account of the creation of Israel. Since I wanted to read something about the history of Israel, I had bought this book as well as "Exodus" which is a viewpoint of the conflict seen through the eyes of a Jew. The story is about a Palestine family from

50p in a charity box, was thinking be rude not to pick one of his up! Not something I would normally pick-up but glad I didAn engaging start with a mix of the history of the Palestine/Israeli conflict retold through mostly Arab eyes along with the narrative from an Arab family. The story begins in 1922 & runs throu to 1956 bringing critical points in the history to life through the involvement of the family whose father is the Muktar of Tabah, a leader of his people in a region of Palestine

This Leon Uris 1984 classic is worth reading (or re-reading) today in light of current events. It tells the story of an Arab family living in Palestine during the influx of Jewish settlers from Europe prior to World War II, the failure of the Arab nations to deal honestly with the refugees after the 1948 war, and the failure of the refugees to adjust to the new reality, leaving us where we are today, 67 years after Israeli independence, with the refugees still thinking their freedom depends on

A certainly biased look at the origins of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, as it was written by Jewish Leon Uris. It leaves doubts in my mind as a reader as to how fictional or nonfictional some of these events are. I understand it's a fictional novel, but the book spends a lot of time trying to paint the picture of Arab life in the Middle East. The more liberal side of me hopes that Uris has painted a falsified and horribly inaccurate picture because I wish people didn't have to live like

This book is about the Arab culture, the creation of the State of Israel and how the Palestinians became refugees. Great book but makes you despair about ever being able to come to a resolution in the Middle East.

I thought this was a very well researched historical novel, both entertaining and informative. It made the history in the region between the 1920s and 1950s easier to understand. The story was terribly tragic and sad. I was aware of the authors obvious bias while reading it, but had a feeling that what he was saying about Arab and Jewish character was probably based mostly on reality. It seems that the Arab culture, which formed the religion of Islam, was summed up early in the book when Ishmael
