Description

“Passionate summary of the inhuman treatment of the Jewish people in Europe, of the exodus in the 19th and 20th centuries to Palestine, and of the triumphant founding of the new Israel.” (The New York Times)

Exodus is an international publishing phenomenon - the towering novel of the 20th century's most dramatic geopolitical event. Leon Uris magnificently portrays the birth of a new nation in the midst of enemies - the beginning of an earthshaking struggle for power. Here is the tale that swept the world with its fury: the story of an American nurse, an Israeli freedom fighter caught up in a glorious, heartbreaking, triumphant era. Here is Exodus - one of the great best-selling novels of all time.

History we need to know

I have promised myself for several years that I must read this book. I read Trinity and it put the Irish troubles into context. It's not about taking sides but if you understand what motivates a people then you get a look into history in a way that no academic can.

Leon does this with Exodus. The book covers a huge amount of material in a way that kept me at the trough. Leon is a master. Strongly recommend!!

The history of the Jewish nation

This was a beautiful yet heartbreaking story of the struggle of the Jews over the last 2000 years. It gave me a much clearer understanding of today’s current events. I can highly recommend it.

Important classic that reacquainted me with Israel

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this novel which I had read decades ago. It has stood the test of time. I think in this present age ,when we are getting so much noise from anti Israel propaganda,it is important to familiarize ourselves with Israel’s origin at a time when the targeted annihilation of the Jews had reached epic proportions under Hitler.

The Jewish Plight

I read the book over 40 years ago. So glad I rediscovered its content by accessing historical background and perspective through this unabridged audio. Great narration. IMHO ... A classic now in audio format. Well done!

The historically accurate detail.

This is a must read for today! The book puts in context the current war between Israel and Hamas.

Entertaining Propaganda

I was shocked at how cartoonishly racist Exodus was, I would generally try to not judge a book written in the 50s by todays standards, but popular depictions of the Arabs and Palestinians haven't changed much since it was written, so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.

Viewed with the hindsight of the past 70+ years in the region, and the world, this book is clearly tired propaganda depicting the inhabitants of the land as backward and savage, and the arriving Jews as having no choice but to take over the land, when all they wanted was peace. Not even the Jewish Arabs are spared from being represented as one step above animals.

Really you could replace "Arab" with any native population, and "Jew" with any group seeking to establish a state on someone else's land, and you've heard this narrative before. Seriously even the bible has more subtlety when trying to depict who the "bad guy" is. This book is clearly trying to sell you something and has so little tact, that I don't know if I should laugh or cry.

How is Exodus is still taken seriously in the 21st century? I have had multiple people point me to this book for it's historicity, and it makes me question peoples critical thinking skills, or wonder if they've read or listened to it recently.

Even though this story is clearly propaganda, I still think it's worth the listen/read, it is entertaining and Paul Michaels narration is fantastic, he has a voice that suits the period well, but if you take this for history or "historical" fiction, I have a bridge to sell you.
