This book "...is full of stories of people - from the nineteenth-century figures who imagined a Zionist country, including Theodor Herzl, who though it might resemble Vienna with its cafes and music; to Cohen's own relatives in Nazi-occupied Poland. He goes back to that Polish village and to the Middle East and to scenes from his boyhood. Cohen describes his relationship with Israel as a sort of marriage: one does not always agree or get along, but one is faithful. This is an intimate journey through Jewish history and the author's own history, and a passionate defense of Israel's legitimacy. " Bibliography. Index.. Fine in Fine dust jacket .
