Sub-titled ""An Informative Guide"", this is a background book which provides an historical perspective on the people and culture as well as a conducted tour of the country, places to go, see and stay. There are the specifics of seasonal changes, clothes, currency, transport, cafes and restaurants and theatres, the kibbutzes, temples and churchs, holidays, the Arabs, etc. as well as the points of interest in the leading cities- Tel Aviv, Jaffa, Jerusalem, Haifa. And there's an enthusiastic admiration for this old-new land, the hospitality of the people, the austerity of the lives they lead, and the assurance of a destination determined by a national idealism... Sold, if you're going, going or gone.
