Hardcover. Condizione: vg. First edition. Folio. 199, [1]pp. Original photo-illustrated dust-jacket over blue cloth with silver lettering on spine. Half-title inscribed and signed by Micha Bar-Am. From the early euphoria of Israel's independence, through hardscrabble years as Israelis worked to draw life out of the desert land, during the brutal and bitter wars that have marked the course of the last sixty-five years, and as the country has become a prominent member of the international community, the photographer Micha Bar-Am has been there to record the drama and the nuance of Israeli life. Featuring pictures taken over the course of the country's history by Israel's foremost photographer - and opening with a thoughtful and important essay by Thomas L. Friedman, New York Times columnist and award-winning author - this rich and evocative volume shows us Israel in all its fascinating complexity. Minor age-toning along edges of dust-jacket and paper margin. Dust-jacket in overall good+, interior in good+ to very good condition.
