Product Description:
Exodus is an international publishing phenomenon--the towering novel of the twentieth century's most dramatic geopolitical event. Leon Uris magnificently portrays the birth of a new nation in the midst of enemies--the beginning of an earthshaking struggle for power. Here is the tale that swept the world with its fury: the story of an American nurse, an Israeli freedom fighter caught up in a glorious, heartbreaking, triumphant era. Here is Exodus --one of the great best-selling novels of all time.
From the Paperback edition.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - One of Urises better novels.
Yea it has some cheezines and cliches. But there is nothing in its depiction of the British and Arabs that can be called racist or maliciously written.
The fact is, the Arabs as depicted in the book are still the same Arabs today. Orwellian propaganda such as staging fake funerals where the corpse falls off the bier and then gets back on. Lying to themselves, lying to the world. Telling people that the Temples never existed on the Moriah mountain even though previous Wakifs handed out ... Read More
Rating: - A story for the millenium
Consistant with the extremely high quality of all of his work, Exodus is likely the pinnacle for Uris. The story as fiction is compelling to the last sentence.

Rating: - two books stands above others

Rating: - Birth of the Modern Jewish State

Uris provides a great background to modern Israel and how the Jews who emigrated there in the 19th and 20th centuries took back the land of milk and honey.

Rating: - Rebirth of a nation
In the same manner that Herman Wouk's "Winds of War" and "War and Remembrance" took us through the vast event that was WWII, as seen through the eyes of a family of beloved fictional characters -- so does Leon Uris' "Exodus" carry us through the labor pains and birth of the modern State of Israel, as told through the lives of a family of fictional figures in that resurrected nation.
The story is huge in scope and Uris covers a lot of territory.He takes us from the Jewish displaced persons ... Read More
