I. F. Stone's This Is Israel'
Depicts Triumph of Zionism

"This Is Israel" is the record of
12 months of struggle to create
a state and of the triumph of a
courageous people against tyrants.
. I. F. Stone is the historian who
compiled this
splendid book.
Bartley C. Crum
wrote a power-
ful essay as
foreword. The

18, selected Nov. 29, the first an-
niversary of the partition plan,
as publication date for the book.
It is a splendid choice—since Mr.
Stone has compiled a complete
resume of all that has transpired
in Israle and before the United
Nations.
Stone -clears exciting new paths
toward understanding the move-
ment which has grown into an
urgent world issue.
A vivid account of the fulfill-
ment of v∎ Jewish prophecy after
20 centuries of struggle, this first-
hand story of Israel's birth is

written by a. reporter who is also
a powerful creative writer. "This
Is Israel" is history written with
a depth and perspective rarely
displayed so close in time to
the events chronicled.
The book goes back to the age-
old sources of Israel's strength,
describes the early beginning of
Zionism and its growth in the
19th Century, and moves forward
into our time, depicting the
blinding of Palestine with only
primitive means by "the few who
cared." We • then witness the
formation of the villages and in-
dustries, the life of the people as
it changes through the years, the
structure of labor • and govern-
ment. And then, focusing more
sharply on recent events, Mr.
Stone gives us a battle-by-battle
description of the War for Inde-
pendence;laying bare meanwhile
the political maneuvers of which
the batles were the visible signs,
and making clear at last the se-
cret of how a deserted, poorly-
armed and tiny nation stood off
seven Arab armies.
As Bartley Crum says in his
introduction, Stone brings "sin- -`
gular .qualifications" to his task
of acquainting Americans - with
Israel.
The spectacular photographs
magnificently supplement Stone's
story.
