“The moment news of the agreement leaked to the rest of the Arab world, a storm broke over Abdullah's head. He faced a crisis within his own cabinet. The West Bank refugee population seethed. Warnings and accusations poured into Amman.”
Sachar traces the evolution of Jewish nationalism in all its complexity and richness against the matrix of European Jewish life. He examines the non-Jewish political and economic factors that have influenced Zionist and (later) Israeli public institutions, and the rival Western, Soviet, and Arab imperial ambitions that fostered the independence and shaped the subsequent diplomatic policy of the Zionist republic.
