About
Of the expeditions led by Yossi Harel from 1946 to 1948, it was the voyage of the Exodus to Palestine that became a beacon for Zionism and a symbol to all that neither guns, cannons, nor warships could stand in the way of the human need for a home. The book honors this young Israeli who was motivated by the pleading eyes of orphaned children in Europe.

"Masterfully describing both Harel's biography and the suffering and determination of the refugees, Kaniuk portrays an ugly episode in history and provides much-needed historical depth to contemporary political debates."
Publishers Weekly
"Kaniuk not only gives readers a penetrating picture of Harel but also offers valuable insights into the Jewish struggle to create a homeland."
