Beschreibung

Tommy Lapid's life charts a course through every major incident of the Jewish experience since the 1930s, from seeing his father taken away to a concentration camp to arriving in Tel Aviv at the birth of Israel.In this heartfelt tribute, Yair Lapid presents both an intimate portrait of his father and a sweeping narrative of how Israel became what it is today. Tommy Lapid's uniquely unorthodox opinions-he belonged to neither left nor right, was Jewish, but vehemently secular-expose the many contradictions inherent in Israeli life today.
