Book summary

"The Hope" covers the early years of Israel's struggle for existence and survival, following the deeds and sacrifices of four main characters: Zev Barak, the cultured soldier; Benny Luria, the ace fighter pilot with religious stirrings; Sam Pasternak, the sardonic, slightly sinister Mossad man; and the antic warrior called Quixote (Kishote).

Media reviews

"Much of the dialogue is witty; the descriptions of back-channel diplomacy between the United States and Israel are fascinating and convincing; there are some good battle scenes and a lot of sex."
