Israel. The Complete History

Israel is a small country of deeply revered religious shrines and eclectic culture, the center of three world religions and an oasis built in the middle of the desert. The state has a centuries-old history that is full of unexpected twists and dramatic events: the resettlement of Jews in Palestine, World War I and World War II, conflicts with Egypt and Syria, and the military operation "Peace for Galilee." "Tel Aviv parties, Jerusalem prays, Haifa works"—everything you need to know about how a multinational state is organized. Israel features miles of golden sandy beaches and the warm Mediterranean Sea, Ancient Jaffa of Tel Aviv, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Western Wall of Jerusalem, the market of Nazareth, and the sacred city of Bethlehem.
