• Israel

• Author Laurel Corona
• Published by Lucent Books

No place on earth has caused greater worldwide passion and controversy than Israel. This sliver of land at the eastern end of the Mediterranean stands out in the Middle East because, unlike its neighbors, it is democratic and largely middle class culture determined to maintain itself as a Jewish state. These distinctions, as well as its central role in the religious history of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, have been at the heart of the conflicts, which continue to impact the region and the world.

Review:

"Israel covers such issues as the creation of the Jewish state, daily life, and the struggle for peace, with sidebars about a variety of interesting topics, including the siege at Jerusalem and the artists' colony at Ein Hod... Has a time line, a bibliography, source notes, and a list of Web sites."
-- Booklist (April 2003)
