About this listen

O Jerusalem! is the epic drama of 1948, when Arabs and Jews fought for control of the city of Jerusalem. This story traverses centuries and continents, covering the time between WWII and the creation of the independent state of Israel. Based on five years of intensive research and thousands of interviews, this is a story of courage, terrorism, heroism, and ultimately, war.©1972 Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre (P)2003 New Millennium Audio, All Rights Reserved History Judaism Middle East World

Critic Reviews

"A history that not only clarifies the military and political events of the war but brings its human dimensions vividly to life." (The National Observer)

Loved the book from the first page. The story of struggle, pain and courage gives your goosebumps all the way. One world's say that there is an element of bias towards the underdogs.

History at it's most painful

Seminal account of a historic city at one of its most important time. The book is compelling, unsettling and down right uncomfortable in parts but a must read if you love History. Narrator has done a great job bringing out the story and done justice to the book

Seminal, stunning
