“Exodus is an international publishing phenomenon-the towering novel of the twentieth century's most dramatic geopolitical event. The 1960 film adaptation starring Paul Newman was nominated for three Academy Awards. One of Uris’s best works, Exodus is just as relevant today as it was when it was first published in 1958. Rich in historical accuracy and compelling characters, this literary classic sheds light on the long history of the Jewish diaspora, their struggles for liberation, and the costs of war. Leon Uris tactfully meshes together the story of two 19th century Jewish brothers who seek refuge in Palestine with the 20th century story of how Israel gained its independence after World War II. This #1 New York Times international bestseller tells the epic history of Israel's birth through the eyes of two generations of Jews as they fight to reclaim their homeland.
