Winner Takes All: Season In Israel

by Stephen Brook

This portrait of Israel attempts to lay bare the contradictions that make Israel both deeply problematic and fascinating. The author has travelled all over this small but varied country, reporting its diversity, seeking out the widest possible range of Israelis, making sense of this heroic but deeply flawed country, and giving expression to all shades of opinion from Jew and Arab alike. Stephen Brook is the author of "The Double Eagle" and "Maple Leaf Rag".

Reviews

[Elaine]

I haven't read a book about Israel into so many subjects, and not just politics.
I enjoyed the author's style of writing, and it was interesting from 1988 and 1991 comments.
