Summary: First published in 1978, this 2008 edition brings to the limelight again the turmoil of May 1948, when the British left Palestine, and blood and fire engulfed Jerusalem. The Israeli-Arab conflict had begun and continues to hound the world today, impacting other nations and worldwide politics. What’s New about This Edition?. . . As relevant today as it was in 1948 when the conflict began, the book’s ‘newness’ lies in the intimate, heart-wrenching Preface by Dominique Lapierre, the surviving author of the best-selling duo. Hailed as an apolitical, unbiased account of living history, O Jerusalem! traverses the partition of Palestine into two distinct States, the departure of the British, the birth of Israel, and the state of a conflict between Arabs and Jews that has since, never ceased to rage. • A 16-page photo layout showcases the authors’ meeting with David Ben-Gurion, the founder of Israel, and Golda Meir, as also scenes from the French film O Jerusalem! • For a whole new generation of readers, this revised and enlarged format unfolds a topical subject that contiues to impact the world.
