Israel is one of those "issues" that seems to be impossible to understand. Just who hates whom? And why? Aronson's descriptions of Israel are so well written, you'll feel as if you're on a tour bus checking out the country for yourself. Learn what a kibbutz is and what Israel's political leaders have done, and see the significant religious landmarks. He also makes issues easy to comprehend by relating them to historical events you've likely studied in a U.S. History class. Grades nine through twelve.
