Description: EXODUSis the story of the pursuit of a dream twenty centuries old. It is a story that sweeps ahead under its own plunging momentum and catches the reader up in the swinging vortex of a hundred shifting scenes and a thousand dramatic moments.EXODUStells of people who engage the heart and stir the blood and whose lives - their loves, sorrows, struggles, and dreams - were vitally bound up with the miracle of the birth of the new state of Israel. Among them was Kitty Fremont, a Christian nurse whose background made her resist the Israeli cause but whose heart responded to the plight of the Jewish refugee children trying to reach Israel by sailing through a British naval blockade. She was similarly repulsed and attracted by Ari Ben Canaan, that silent underground fighter whose iron-nerved exploits made him a leader of men but whose very dedication to his people's battle for freedom stifled any love for Kitty. And then there was Karen, the refugee girl whose inspiring dedication transcended the heartbreak of futile search for her parents and became a symbol of the new land's spirit-the youth, Dov, a hate-ravaged product of the Warsaw ghetto who lusted for revenge - Mark Parker, the American news correspondent whose interest in refugee conditions on Cyprus led to Kitty Fremont's going to Israel-Barak Ben Canaan, the redheaded giant who faced down Arab enemies with a bull whip in hand and diplomatic intriguers with an instinctive statesmanship- and, among the many others, Brigadier Bruce Sutherland, the British general who was caught between his duty and his conscience.EXODUS'drama unfolds in the ghettoes of Russia and Poland, on the high seas and the airlift lanes, from the forbidding plateaus of Yemen to the icebound mountains of Alaska, and from modern Tel Aviv to the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. It is the picture of a people's dream to establish a homeland, to live in God-given freedom, to build cities, turn desert into gardens, laugh and sing, worship in the ways of Abraham, love and be loved far from the shadow of oppression It is the story of men in mortal struggle and of men and women in love.
