The Jewish people, gazing down the vista of time, had longed for the rebirth of their nation. That day was now upon them, but could they endure its accompanying fury? The first two books in THE ZION CHRONICLES, The Gates of Zion and its sequel, A Daughter of Zion , graphically portrayed the courage and hope of the Jewish people streaming into Israel after the Holocaust. The drama of history and the heart-stopping life-and-death struggle of a nation are captured by bestselling author Bodie Thoene in the lives of the people who live on these pages. The Return to Zion opens during the final month of British occupation in Palestine. With Moshe the target of a dangerous conspiracy and Rachel imprisoned behind the walls of the Old City, David and Ellie marshall efforts in the last-ditch attempts of the Jewish Agency to arm its people against the onslaught that surely will come on the day the British forces leave Palestine. ENGULFED IN DARKNESS AND HOPELESSNESS, THEY WONDERED WHAT DIFFERENCE THE PROMISES TO ISRAEL MADE NOW?

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. A nation will stand or fall . . . and it's all up to one World War I fighter ace. The Old City of Jerusalem is under siege in February 1948. Food and fuel are scarce. Weapons with which to defend the Jewish Quarter are even more so. The U.S. arms embargo against the Jews is still in effect, even though the British openly sell weapons to the Arabs. The Jewish nation needs a miracle. David Meyer is given a dangerous assignment-to hire pilots and buy war-surplus planes that could fly to Palestine the instant statehood is declared. It could cost him his U.S. citizenship, and it would mean leaving Ellie, his bride, in harm's way. Worse, the British and the Arab secret operative Montgomery seem to know his every move. Even Haganah leader Moshe Sachar, who has just wed the beautiful Rachel Lubetkin, becomes the target of an evil conspiracy. When David signed up for the war, he hadn't signed up to carry the weight of a nation. Especially when betrayal swirls in the very air. . . . Special Feature: Study questions suitable for individual use or group discussion. Artikel-Nr. 00081156501
