The Redemption of the Unwanted by Abram L Sachar. Published by St Martin's/Marek, New York, NY, 1983. 1st Stated Signed Edition. Hardbound. Paper DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: Fine in Good DJ. Inscribed to original owners inside front cover by author, dated 1983. 334 Pgs. ISBN 0312667299. LCCN 83-3025. From the Liberation of the Death Camps to the Founding of Israel. Placed in DP camps almost as soon as they were ''freed,'' utterly unwanted in any of the countries they had once called home, spurned by a distracted Roosevelt, despised by the British government, it quickly became apparent that they needed their own land. Palestine was the logical place, but the Arabs did not want them there and the British came to the Arabs' aid in forcibly keeping the Jews out. So passports were forged, passage clandestinely arranged; incredible acts of human courage became daily events. And, despite overwhelming opposition (but with the support of Harry Truman), the state of Israel was formed. Drawing on restricted documents and scores of interviews, the author tells a story of government perfidy and individual heroism. Description text copyright 2011 BooksForComfort. Item ID 24967.
