His book presents both the need for safety and sec urity for Jews and calls Israelis to account for certain actions taken.\n\ nNote: In selecting this book Ari Shavit’s\, My Promised Land: The Trium ph and Tragedy of Zionism\, we are aware of the author’s disturbing hist ory of sexual misconduct for which he was forced to leave his position as a columnist for Ha’aretz\, Israel’s leading newspaper. This book remai ns\, in our estimation\, the single best work for the general reader expla ining the multiple complexities of Israel today. In recommending it\, we h ave chosen to separate the artist from the art.
