| Summary |
Written in 1933 by a Polish reporter travelling across Mandate Palestine, this book is an eye-witness account of the early stages in formation of the state and nation of Israel, as well as a collection of founding myths. It extends the historical perspective beyond the immediate context of the current debates in and outside Israel |
