Tom Segev
Metropolitan Books
, 2002
Easy read, great insight
I came to appreciate Segev after reading his writing in Ha'aretz, an Israeli daily newspaper, and his book, "One Palestine Complete". While the latter was an impressive historical work, "Elvis in Jerusalem", is more closely related to his work as an editorial ...
One Palestine, Complete: Jews and Arabs Under the British Mandate
Tom Segev
Holt Paperbacks
, 2001
Segev's masterpiece
