Sample Book Insights:
#1 Nechemiah and I had a conversation about the Arab-Israeli conflict in 1948, when we were both young soldiers. We knew that war would not come to the Holy City, and neither of us wanted it to.
#2 I had two brothers who were in the Israeli military: one who died in Gaza on the first day of the war, and another who died in Jerusalem on the last day. I was constantly flying throughout the war, and I didn’t know anything about what had happened to my brothers.
#3 The Arab world had a leader in Gamal Abdel Nasser, the president of Egypt. His vision was pan-Arabism: one state stretching from Central Asia across the Middle East and Africa to the Atlantic. He wanted a modern Arab world, secular, socialist, and armed with the latest weapons.
#4 The Israeli military was very pro-socialist in those days. There were no salaries, and meals were taken in the communal dining hall. The economy was struggling to absorb hundreds of thousands of immigrants, many of whom had been expelled from Arab countries.
