In the Land of Israel - Amos Oz

"An exemplary instance of a writer using his craft to come to grips with
what is happening politically and to illuminate certain aspects of
Israeli society that have generally been concealed by polemical
formulas." -The New York Times

Notebook in hand, Amos Oz
traveled throughout Israel and the West Bank in the early 1980s to talk
with workers, soldiers, religious zealots, aging pioneers, new
immigrants, desperate Arabs, and visionaries, asking them questions
about Israel's past, present, and future. What he heard is set down here
in those distinctive voices, alongside Oz's observations and
reflections. A classic insider's view of a land whose complex past and
troubled present make for an uncertain future.

"Oz's vignettes . . . wondrously re-create whole worlds with an economy of words." -Philadelphia Inquirer
