Gotta confess, I gave up on this book. It's a never ending story of the paratroopers who helped reunite Jerusalem, in 1967. But, it keeps going on and on.

Interesting to read about the different emotions, by Israelis, after Jerusalem was reunited. Wish I'd read this before we went to Israel, 17-months ago. I certainly would have appreciated some of what we saw much more.

Okay, so this had what I considered a slow start, but has picked up immeasurably. Amazingly, there were many in the Israeli gov't. that were concerned with what the world would say if Israel controlled Jerusalem...its ancient capital. Ultimately, the Israelis said "screw you" to the world and went on to capture and reunite the city. More to come.

Book details how Israeli Defense Force (IDF) paratroopers captured the Old City of Jerusalem, during the 1967 6-day war from the Jordanians. A bit slow, so far, as the author gives a biography of the main characters before, I'm assuming, he gets into the details of how Israel covertly got the Jordanians to enter into the war, when they should have stayed out...it ultimately cost them Jerusalem.
