The Israelis; Founders and Sons [SIGNED]
New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1973. First edition. Hardcover. Octavo. (8), 359, (1)pp. Index. Cream dust jacket lettered in black, blue and orange. Blue cloth, front cover stamped in blind, spine stamped in silver. Signed on the front free endpaper by Amos Elon. D.j. price clipped, slightly dusted and with minor chip at foot of spine.
Elon (1926-2009) juxtaposes the generations of the Founders and the Sons, the innocent idealists and the pragmatic realists. The Israelis is an original, well-documented and dramatic account of past and present. His sources are frequently poets and novelists rather than politicians, whom he often mistrusts. (OCLC)
