“A historical tour de
force, The Invention of the Jewish People offers a groundbreaking account of
Jewish and Israeli history. Exploding the myth that there was a forced Jewish
exile in the first century at the hands of the Romans, Israeli historian Shlomo
Sand argues that most modern Jews descend from converts, whose native lands
were scattered across the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
In this iconoclastic work, which spent nineteen weeks on the Israeli bestseller
list and won the coveted Aujourd'hui Award in France,
Sand provides the intellectual foundations for a new vision of Israel’s
future.”
