| Notes of Articles | |
| I've found that I read a lot of magazine articles, but often times it all ends | |
| up as a jumble. In order to reflect more on what I read, I am writing notes on | |
| some of the articles that I read. | |

| The following was lifted from the Queens Library website: | |
| Avishai is a young American who, like many of his generation, has had life-long | |
| interest and personal involvement in Israel. Like many others, he tried to | |
| settle in Israel, but for a variety of reasons could not adjust to life there. | |
| He has been writing about current affairs in Israel and the Middle East for a | |
| number of years and this volume represents the culmination of his assessments to | |
| date. The first part is a brief summary of the history of Zionism leading to the | |
| establishment of the State of Israel. The second part deals with the period | |
| after 1948 and includes both previous observations by the author as well as | |
| fresh insights, many critical of Israeli policy. The conclusions in this book | |
| clearly will not please all readers, which is perhaps exactly why it should be | |
| read. Recommended. Jehuda Reinharz, Near Eastern & Judaic Studies Dept., | |
