Etat : Very Good. 8vo hardcover 314pp very good+ / very good+ d/w. From Choice: The author is thorough in collecting well-known old scandals and new onesas well as policy failures. {His book} is a polemic whose sincerity and indignation are diminished by a certain stylistic flippancy. In addition, the eagerness to express disgust with the entire Israeli system leads the author to fail, for example, to make a distinction between personal corruption and political party corruption. The result is a volume that indicts without analysis and without remedy. It is also true, however, that such a candid portrayal of Israeli shortcomings is rare.nnFrom The EconomistnBarry Chamish describes himself as an Israeli patriot and war veteran, with no intention of adding to the 'long and ignorant series of Israel bashing by enemies of that country'. He makes no apology for, and appears to support, Israel's position vis-a-vis the Arabs. Yet his book is a ferocious assault onIsrael; not for its foreign policy but for its internal corruption and incompetence. The Israeli people, he says, are decent and caring but exploited by venal politicians and bureaucrats. As a result, those who can afford it are fleeing the country in droves. . . . {The book} is an opinionated and sometimes outrageous whirl through a rogues' gallery of unsavoury politicians, together with potted histories of the more egregious scandals to have rocked the countryin recent years. No area of public life--not even the revered armed forces--emerges without taint.nnFrom David Langsam - New Statesman & SocietynUnfortunately, Chamish's inability to separate fact from fiction and factfrom opinion destroys his book's credibility. He tells readers not to mistake his 'irreverent' style for flippancy, but it is a flippant work. . . . Too many Israelis believe the kind of twaddle that Chamish has woven into his accounts of corruption. They argue in the same way, mixing truth and fiction to suit their case. . . . Chamish shows his real weakness when he ventures on to unfamiliar ground: Arabs in general, Palestinians in particular, and the intifada. . . . He writes like someone whose expectations have not been met. A Canadian who emigrated in 1975, Chamish takes a somewhat hyperbolic approach to theproblems of his adopted country. A more sober account might have been more effective. N° de réf. du vendeur 25384
