Bestselling new analysis of Jewish history by a leading Israeli historian
Shlomo Sand teaches Contemporary History at the University of Tel Aviv. His books include The Invention of the Jewish People, On the Nation and the Jewish People, How I Stopped Being a Jew, The Invention of the Land of Israel, and Twilight of History.
Sand's questions about how Israel's democracy can be liberalized
and stabilized are thought-provoking and deserve serious
discussion.

the link between Judaism and Israel.

acknowledgement of this book.
*Independent on Sunday, Best History Books of 2009*
A radical dismantling of a national myth.
*Guardian*
Almost too baseless to debunk.
*Jewish Journal*
