Captivated by the notion of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, beautiful Dana leaves her well-to-do family in Poland to become a guard at a kibbutz in northern Galilee where she marries Hershel, an ex-soldier from Ukraine, and they raise two children. Later, the family moves to Tel Aviv and then to Jerusalem where-as a language expert for Jewish military intelligence units-Dana's adventures begin. She uncovers an Arab-Nazi plot to exterminate the Jews in Palestine, entices a French foreign minister to relinquish abandoned Luftwaffe airplanes as World War II ends and Israel's wars with the Arabs begin, seeks a traitor in Egypt and Greece, aids in the capture of a notorious Nazi war criminal, and translates secret messages from a famed Israeli spy that help Israel win the Six-Day War. And there's more . . . Spanning the period from the 1920s to the 1990s, Dana outlines major events in Israel's history and points to important issues that persist to this day-Israel's treatment of Arabs in the captured territories, secular versus Orthodox Jewry within Israel, and the quest for an enduring Middle East peace. The book also shares intimate moments between a wife and husband who are deeply in love.
