Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book.
If you really want to get a good understanding of what is going on in Israel right now, this is a great way to do it. The author lives in Israel and reports, and did several in-depth chapters from different sources, showing different divisions in Israel--obviously Palestinian/Israeli, but also Ultra-Orthodox/Israeli, European/Middle Eastern Jews, Moroccan Jews, Russian immigrant Jews, and many more. It was really interesting--the author wrote this during the brief period Netanyahu was NOT PM, but it still felt fresh as I read it in the middle of the protests over Netanyahu's court revamping plan; it all still applies. There is a lot here; if you are just interested casually, it may be a bit much, but if you have the time to spend, this is a very good way to get a handle on what is going on in Israel and why.
