About this book

Leon Uris returns to the land of his acclaimed bestseller Exodus for an epic story of hate and love, vengeance and forgiveness. The Middle East is the powerful setting for this sweeping tale of a land where revenge is sacred and hatred noble. Where an Arab ruler tries to save his people from destruction but cannot save them from themselves. When violence spreads like a plague across the lands of Palestine—this is the time of The Haj.

Quotes by Leon Uris

From Wikiquote

A soldier has one item that cannot be neglected. His feet. They are his wheels, his mechanised warfare.
I was tough. I used everything to my advantage. I could be very ruthless.
Research to me is as important, or more important, than the writing. It is the foundation upon which the book is built.
