My Promised Land. The most balanced account of the history of Israel. It opened my eyes and ears to issues and events I wasn't aware of. But ultimately made me proud to be a supporter of Israel.

My promised land. An incredibly well researched narrative spanning Israel's formative years through the very recent days. Though some left leaning spinning is evidently woven in, the reader travels through the personal stories of interviewees of Israel's extremely unique experience. A fascinating story extremely well told. A fast read and a real page turner. A must read!

A must read. A well thought out, eyes-open, emotionally honest, deeply insightful and ultimately very moving portrayal of Israel. An excellent antidote to ignorance and cliché. One of the best, most powerful books on Israel I have ever read.

My Promised Land. A well written/researched book on the complex political history of the State of Israel. A must read for anyone with an interest in middle east politics and history.

My Promised Land by Ary Shavit. A remarkable open and informative piece of work. Shavit held my interest and opened my eyes to alternative perspectives often slanted either as pro or con Israel. I admire his grasp of his own views balanced with those who oppose today’s quagmire of politics and special interest groups. He has achieved a well written story that should be read by every vested interest in the Middle East.

Great reporting authentic,honest analysis poetic,visionary finale!,. Must read

My Promised Land. An outstanding journey into the life of a new nation from its very beginning through the eyes of a brilliant and sensitive writer...a great read for anyone wanting to understand some of the complex events taking place in the Middle East.

My Promised Land. As a non-Jew who has visited Israel many times, I found this book insightful and helpful in better understanding the country and it's people. The author's love of his country, as well as his despair over its uncertain future, are evident and understandable. Israel needs the US and the US needs Israel. As troubles mount in the Middle East, it's crucial to both countries, and to world peace, for our leaders to work hand in hand to confront those who are common enemies.

A Book That Needs To Be Read. This book is a connect the dots of a life filled with love, passion, frustration and resignation in my relationship with the dream and reality of Israel as a diaspora North American Jewish boy turned to grown man. Shavit brilliantly weaves every feeling I have into a journey that has reconnected me with a place so important central and critical to my life as a Jew, a former but forever Zionist, and most of all a believer in the dream that was, and is, the State of Israel. I could not put it down, and now that I have finished it will pass along to anyone willing to listen that the dream may still be real.

Wonderful. A must read for anyone interested in the rich and complex tapestry that is Israel and its history.

One of the best in it's genre.. Candid, insightful, daring, opinionated. Traits many would ascribe to the stereotypic Israeli Sabra. So is Shavit's account in "The Promised Land". In spite of being a personal perspective on a complex subject, the book relies on data that many holding opposing views could agree with it's message. A must-read for all those interested in events evolving between Israelis and Palestinians. The book reads easily and the content illuminates many of the dark corners in the conflict.
