Comments and Reviews


ppint. 10 hours ago		Rated 9/10 this is the edition yr hmbl srppnt. first read - in 1967 - it kept the teenage me up all night reading it in one go - and yes, it was written to be a work of propaganda° and an educational work†, as well as a thunderingly fine, truly gripping novel. i have read it again since - a couple of times, over the decades. yr hmbl srppnt. does *not* like leon uris' altering some parts of known & fully-documented historical events, such as the children & crew of the blockade-running ship were in fact returned by the british authorities to a/ displaced persons' camp/s in europe: i can appreciate he did this to improve the novel as a work of fiction, "but..."; however, his portrayal of racist characters and the language these characters use does not make this a work advocating racism nor racist behaviour: such criticism is ill-founded, no matter how sincere. "exodus" remains a major novel, a gripping "must-read" - and one that does not excuse nor justify violence & murder by anyone at all - including by modern israelis possessed of racist opinions & beliefs. - not that all by any means are (clarifying to forestall charges...). ° - promoting several causes, not simply zionism (in the sense of arguing for both the movement to further creation of a modern jewish state, historically, and supporting its continued existence) † - detailing much of the history of jewish people, and of judaism, through snapshots and more extended chapters in characters' lives, as well as enlightening people about the existence of the holocaust that the nazi regime had inflicted upon so many millions including many of the peoples of eastern europe, and upon homosexual men, and upon others - but so overwhelmingly against the jewish population of europe (and anyone "tainted" with "jewish blood") - about which many people - and most people in the usa - were totally ignorant. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
