FROM THE INTRODUCTION: "...DAVID HARUM A CHARACTER SO ORIGINAL, SO TRUE, AND SO STRONG, YET WITHAT SO DELIGHTFULLY QUAINT AND HUMOROUS...THE BOOK IS A NOVEL, AND THROUGHOUT IT RUNS A LOVE STORY WHICH IS CHARACTERIZED BY SYMPATHETIC TREATMENT AND A CONSTANTLY INCREASING INTEREST; BUT THE TITLE ROLE IS TAKEN BY THE OLD COUNTRY BANKER, DAVID HARUM: DRY, QUAINT, SOMEWHAT ILLITERATE, NO DOUBT, BUT POSSESSING AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF KNOWLEDGE NOT FOUND IN PRINTED BOOKS, AND HOLDING FAST TO THE CHEERFUL BELIEF THAT THERE IS NOTHING WHOLLY BAD OR USELESS IN THIS WORLD."

In The Hope, world-famed historical novelist Herman Wouk told the riveting saga of the first twenty years of Israel's existence, culminating in its resounding triumph in the Six-Day War, which amazed the world as few events of this turbulent century have. With The Glory, Wouk rejoins the story of Israel's epic journey in one of his most compelling works yet. From the euphoric aftermath of that stunning victory in 1967, through the harrowing battles of the Yom Kippur War, the heroic Entebbe rescue, the historic Camp David Accords, and finally the celebration of forty years of independence and the opening of the road to peace, Wouk immerses us in the bloody battles, the devastating defeats, the elusive victories.
