“Until I read The Unmaking of Israel, I didn't think it could be possible
to feel more despairing, and then more terribly hopeful, about Israel,
a place that I began at last, under the spell of Gershom Gorenberg's
lucid and dispassionate yet intensely personal writing, to understand.”
-Michael Chabon
author of The Yiddish Policemen's Union
