Synopsis
New York Times Bestseller: A &“sprawling, action-packed novel&” of Israel by the author of The Hope (Philadelphia Inquirer). This follow-up to The Hope plunges immediately into the violence and upheaval of the Six-Day War of 1967—and continues the stories of its multiple characters and of Israel&’s dramatic struggle for survival across the years. The Glory takes readers through the terrors of the Yom Kippur War, the famous Entebbe rescue, and the airstrikes on Saddam Hussein&’s nuclear reactor—ending with the final hope for peace. Illuminating the inner lives of real Israeli leaders—including David Ben-Gurion, Golda Meir, Moshe Dayan, and Ariel Sharon—the Pulitzer Prize-winning &“master of the historical novel&” (Los Angeles Times) tells the story of Israel&’s struggle to exist with a compelling sense of both the broad significance of this time in history, and its personal impact on those who lived through it. &“A genuinely enjoyable read.&”—Detroit News &“A top-notch storyteller.&”—Time
