A "riveting" New York Times bestseller by the author of Exodus about an American in Israel drawn into the danger of the Suez Crisis (Library Journal).

How did Gideon Zadok, an American novelist and screenwriter, end up pinned by artillery shells in Mitla Pass? It was never his plan to fight someone else's war. He came to Israel to research a book, but also to escape a crumbling marriage, a dysfunctional family, and the pressures of newfound success in the States. But in fleeing from personal troubles he charged headfirst into one of the great global crises of the twentieth century.

Perhaps Leon Uris's most introspective work, Mitla Pass portrays a man caught between his own demons and the epic sweep of Middle Eastern history.

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Leon Uris including rare photos from the author's estate.
