Long before the State of Israel was born, British Mandate Palestine was the scene of one of the worst pogroms ever perpetrated outside of Europe. The 1929 massacre of the ancient Jewish community of Hebron, the burial place of Abraham, was one of the most crucial events in the Arab-Israeli conflict -- until October 7, 2023, and Hamas's gruesome massacre. Award-winning journalist Yardena Schwartz draws on her extensive research and wide-ranging interviews with both sides to tell the story of the world's most enduring conflict. She shows how the issues today cannot be fully understood without the context of ground zero of this century-old war.
