Description : From the front and back flaps…
In The Hope, world-famous historical novelist Herman Wouk told the riveting saga of the first twenty years of Israel’s existence, culminating in its resounding triumph in the Six-Day War, which amazed the world as few events of this turbulent century have. With The Glory, Wouk rejoins the story of Israel’s epic journey in one of his most compelling works yet.
From the euphoric aftermath of that stunning victory in 1967, through the harrowing battles of the Yom Kippur War, the heroic Entebbe rescue, the historic Camp David Accords, and finally the celebration of forty years of years of independence and the opening of the road to peace, Wouk immerses us in the bloody battles, the devastating defeats, the elusive victories.
He plunges us into the lives and loves of the men and women introduced in the The Hope, such as armor officer and Washington attaché Zev Barak, long in love, with the American Emily Halliday and father of a naval officer who fights in Israel’s little-known yet remarkable sea battles.
There are also air force general Benny Luria and his two sons, both fighter pilots, Sam Pasternak, enigmatic Mossad officer, in love with Yael Nitzan, wife of the mettlesome field commander nicknamed Kishote, Hebrew for Quixote. Through their eyes and hearts, we experience the emotional pinnacle of the triumph in 1967; then in a battle panorama unmatched in Wouk’s work, we brave the test of fire that was the Yom Kippur War, in which fathers and sons fought side by side, and many fell, to gain the historic turnaround victory.
Brilliant portraits of actual world figures abound: Golda Meir, Moshe Dayan, Anwar Sadat, Henry Kissinger, the ever-controversial Ariel Sharon, and the tragic Israeli commander-in-chief, David Elazar. And as the glimmer of peace appears on the horizon, we rejoice, having come to understand how the comeback victory laid the basis for this new dawn.
Vital, authentic, authoritative, and masterfully told, The Glory is a tour de force, a story for all time.
