Israel. Country of pine and olives. Shamir I.

Israel Shamir is called one of the most extravagant public figures in Israel, the "Jewish Che Guevara" and even "Hodge Nasruddin of the World Revolution." The Soviet dissident and a fighter for the right of Jews to travel to Israel in the 1970s, then he served in the Israeli special forces, was a military correspondent in Vietnam, won fame as a translator, expert in Judaism, publicist, and now is the leader of the Israeli Ultralevs who advocated for dismantling Jewish state. His book “Country of Pine and Oliva”, which saw the light in 1987, has since become a bestseller. This is a wonderful story about the history of the Holy Land, one of the best among all written about Palestine in Russian.
