"Continuing his masterful previous history of Israel before statehood, Leslie Stein tells the complicated story of the state's first twenty years in this highly readable, admirably concise, and eminently fair-minded account. Threading his way deftly through controversial minefields with sure footing, Stein manages to convey the best up-to-date scholarship with unusual clarity. The book is strongly recommended for the general reader seeking a reliable overview of this critical period, and as an excellent introductory text for the classroom."
-- Alan Dowty, University of Notre Dame
"No country, it can fairly be said, has experienced so great a set of obstacles as has Israel. With great verve and a robust appreciation for the Zionist achievement, Leslie Stein accurately captures the drama, excitement, and danger of the fledgling Jewish state's first two decades, thus putting its current tribulations in perspective."
-- Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum (Pennsylvania) and Taube/Diller distinguished visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University
"Anyone who wants to find the way through the internal politics and external wars that accompanied the state of Israel in its early and formative years can rely on Professor Stein. He gives it straight. This ought to become a standard work on the emergence of Israel to the place it holds on the international scene."
-- David Pryce-Jones, former senior editor of the National Review, one time literary editor of the Financial Times and of the Spectator and author of The Closed Circle
"The Making of Modern Israel is an invaluable contribution to our understanding of one of history's most extraordinary and inspiring stories. Leslie Stein is to be commended for authoring what is certain to become an indispensable resource for scholars, decision-makers, and students."
-- Michael B. Oren, senior fellow at the Shalem Center
