Israel at the half-century mark is one of the great success stories of our time. Now, as the Jewish State enters the twenty-first century, comes a new, thoroughly revised edition of Benjamin Netanyahu's acclaimed A Place Among the Nations, updated to reflect both recent developments and Netanyahu's unique vantage point.From the rise of Zionism to the latest peace initiatives, Benjamin Netanyahu traces the origins, history, and politics of Israel's relationship with the Arab world and the West. He exposes some of the most common - and often shocking - misrepresentations and myths about Arab-Israeli issues, replacing them with facts. And he explores the themes that have shaped his vision of Israel and its position in the world.
