A special two-in-one edition by a master of storytelling, featuringExodus, the epic saga of Israelโs earliest days,andQB VII, the story of a writer accused of committing atrocities during World War II
The Exoduswas just one ship among many that carried survivors of the Holocaust to Palestine to establish a new nation. But the path that Jewish immigrants took to enter British-controlled Palestine was a difficult one, fraught with danger and political intrigue. The boat was intercepted by British forces and the refugees were placed in concentration camps.
Urisโs blockbuster novel traces the lives of the men and women who brave British naval blockades to help Israel come into being, from Ari Ben Canaan, who works tirelessly to smuggle in settlers, to Kitty Fremont, an American nurse drawn into a vast, tragic history. Weaving together fact and fiction, history and dramatic storylines,Exodusstands today as one of the most influential narratives of the founding of the State of Israel.
In*QB VII,*for Abe Cady, settlement is not an option when the facts of the Holocaust are on trial. A journalist and screenwriter, Cady produced the definitive account of the Holocaust just after World War II. But Polish doctor Adam Kelno, who was pressed into service in a notorious concentration camp, sues Cady for his bookโs claim that the doctor conducted terrible experiments on camp inmates. The libel trial that follows tears open old wounds, disrupts lives, and becomes a battle for justice on behalf of tens of thousands of lost and damaged souls.
QB VIIis a gripping drama, largely based on author Urisโs own protracted libel defense against a former concentration camp surgeon named in his novelExodus. It was made into the first miniseries in television history.
