About this audiobook
In the grand storytelling style that is his signature, James Michener sweeps us back through time to the very beginnings of the Jewish faith, thousands of years ago. Through the predecessors of four modern men and women, we experience the entire colorful history of the Jews, including the life of the early Hebrews and their persecutions, the impact of Christianity, the Crusades, and the Spanish Inquisition, all the way to the founding of present-day Israel and the Middle-East conflict.
"A sweeping chronology filled with excitement."

Hope the audio does justice to the book. Read this incredible work, in the early 90's. Recommended to many and always received thanks for said recommendation! It's a Michener book, you better believe it's long, as you're about to take a ride on a virtual time machine, that archaeology provides humanity. IT'S NOT PROPAGANDA, as LIARS say, w/o even providing 1 example? Right there with his masterpieces! Not everyone is a home run, but this is in that tier. -Adam Theodore Glass stamp of approval 🤔
