    Moving Tale
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2016*

Herman Wouk is one of the masters of the historical novel.  I have read all of his books years ago; I noted they are now publishing them in e-book format. I decided to re-read “The Hope” in light of what has happened over the recent years in the Middle East.  The two books “The Hope” and “The Glory” cover the history of Israel.  “The Hope” covers the years from 1948 to 1967 and Wouk pays the most attention to the three wars: The War of Independence, the 1956 Sinai War and the Six Day War.Wouk weaves the story of two protagonists, a young polish immigrant Yossi (Nitzan) Blumenthal a daring military officer, and Zev Barak born in Vienna whose military career is sidelined as he is transferred into diplomacy and is sent to Washington D.C.  Also, there is a beautiful Army Sergeant, Yael Luria, a Sabra, to add a romantic interest to the story.The book is well written and meticulously researched.  Wouk researched government archives, personal diaries, newspapers and personal interviews to present history as accurately as possible.  His account is sympathetic to Israel, but he does not attempt to make the Arabs into villains.  The author does an excellent job revealing the passion behind the founding of Israel.  Wouk does a great job with the military scenes and the inside workings of politics.  All the real people are accurately portrayed in the story. I read this as an e-book on my Kindle app for my iPad.  The book is 706 pages long.  The e-book was published December 2, 2016.  The original publication date for the book was 1993.

    1948 creation of Israel-6day war.Its a great novel with lots and lots of true facts. Exciting

First, I am not Jewish or a Zionist nor the supporter of any Arab country. I do support Israel as a US allie.I heard Herman Wouk was a very good author. The Hope was a 693 page burner I read in 4 days. Lots of exciting war action, tanks, planes, CIA,  strong character development with love triangles and much, much more. Herman Wouk tells us he is an avid Zionist and supporter of Israel but did not slander the other guy in the book ( the Arab nations ) with fictitious Arab sayings or wrong historical Arab facts. He concentrated on Jewish Israel true and fictitious characters although he does mention Egypt's Nasser and other Arab leaders.Please remember this is a novel based on the 1948 creation of the Israel nation through the 6 day war in 1967.I liked that Herman Wouk tells us in the back of the book about the true events and people that took place in each section of the book.He mixes these true facts and true people with fictitious people, fictitious occurrences, love triangles and more. The book flows very well.I learned a lot about the creation of the Israel nation in 1948 through the 6 day war. The different Prime ministers, defense ministers and  generals as well as other officers. Lots of exciting battle action with tanks, paratroopers, and jets. We see the complete ultra quick destruction of Egypt's air force. The Israelite jet pilots destroyed hundreds of planes supplied by the USSR to Egypt on the ground. We also see the quick thrust of Israel armor and its army against Egypt tanks and infantry. Also other Arab nations involved.I was amazed that such a small nation could defend herself against the Arab countries surrounding her. We see France helping Israel for about 10 years with Mirage jets, etc. before abandoning her. We see the US and Britain not wanting to get involved challenging the USSR who propped up Egypt.  We see the Russians supplying superior Mig 22s and T55 tanks to Egypt. Israel must make do with older Mirage jets, Sherman, Patton and other modified older tanks. So Israel goes it alone.  We see the superior training of Israel's pilots and armor personnel. The world is amazed at the quick successful 6 day war by small Israel.We see Presidents Eisenhower, JFK and LBJ and their interactions with Israel and at times no support for Israel and then when it is the US interest to counteract Russia to support Israel.This book was very well done. I enjoyed it. 4 1/3 stars. I liked The Hope so much I ordered the sequel The Glory and The Caine Mutiny by Herman Wouk.

    Riveting History!
  

*by B***L on Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2022*

Not being Jewish I have no knowledge of what it’s like to be a Jew. Being a Christian and a professional military man, I am very well versed on the history of the Jewish Nation and it’s horrific battles to survive against almost impossible odds.For those who don’t know the story of the struggle of the Jews to return to the ancient land that was their former home after the Holocaust of World War II you are missing one of the greatest sagas in human history! Seeking a land of their own where they could finally be free from eons of persecution and misery, this book summarizes in fictional terms the hardships the Jews endured trying to obtain and then hold on to a tiny piece of desert land given them by the UN as 4 Arab Nations attempt to invade and destroy them. How they do it in the face of a world embargo on the sale of weapons to them while openly selling all kinds of weapons to the Arabs is an amazing story in itself.The story is polished, well crafted, and not particularly one-sided.I think you will find it fascinating reading,
