Más información sobre el libro

Herman Wouk, a master of historical fiction, returns with a compelling narrative that captures the human drama surrounding Israel's history. In this epic tale, he immerses readers in the significant events from the 1948 War of Independence to the remarkable Six-Day War in 1967. Blending moments of humor with heroism, the story features four Israeli army officers and the women they love: Zev Barak, a cultured military man from Vienna; Benny Luria, a fighter pilot grappling with religious questions; Sam Pasternak, a sardonic Mossad operative; and Kishote, a whimsical warrior who evolves from a refugee boy on a mule to a high-ranking officer. Alongside them are three memorable Israeli women and an intriguing American, the daughter of a CIA official. With authenticity and narrative strength, the story highlights not just the struggles of one people but the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Ultimately, this tale embodies a message of hope for all humanity, reflecting Wouk's enduring optimism amidst the challenges of our time.
