<DIV><B>A snapshot of Israel and the West Bank in the 1980s, through the voices of its inhabitants, from the National Jewish Book Award&ndash;winning author of <I>Judas</I>.</B><BR /> &#160;<BR /> Notebook in hand, renowned author and onetime kibbutznik Amos Oz traveled throughout his homeland to talk with people&mdash;workers, soldiers, religious zealots, aging pioneers, desperate Arabs, visionaries&mdash;asking them questions about Israel&rsquo;s past, present, and future. Observant or secular, rich or poor, native-born or new immigrant, they shared their points of view, memories, hopes, and fears, and Oz recorded them.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> What emerges is a distinctive portrait of a changing nation and a complex society, supplemented by Oz&rsquo;s own observations and reflections, that reflects an insider&rsquo;s view of a country still forming its own identity. <I>In the Land of Israel</I> is &ldquo;an exemplary instance of a writer using his craft to come to grips with what is happening politically and to illuminate certain aspects of Israeli society that have generally been concealed by polemical formulas&rdquo; (<I>The New York Times</I>)<I>. </I></DIV>
