Free Download 1967: Israel, the War, and the Year That Transformed the Middle East by Tom Segev, James Boles, Tantor Audio
English | 2007 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B000W56RLO | MP3@64 Kbps | Duration: 28:14 h | 776 Mb
From Israel’s leading historian comes this sweeping history of 1967: the war, what led up to it, what came after, and how it changed everything. Tom Segev’s acclaimed works One Palestine Complete and The Seventh Million overturned accepted views of the history of Israel. Now, in 1967 (a number-one best-seller in Israel) he brings his masterful skills to the watershed year when six days of war reshaped the country and the entire region.
Going far beyond a military account, Segev re-creates the crisis in Israel before 1967, showing how economic recession, a full grasp of the Holocaust’s horrors, and the dire threats made by neighbor states combined to produce a climate of apocalypse. He depicts the country’s bravado after its victory and the mood revealed in a popular joke in which one soldier says to his friend, "Let’s take over Cairo". The friend replies, "Then what shall we do in the afternoon?"

Free Download Nancy O. Meyer, "The Real Israel Disembarked: The Phoenician Origins of Samaria "
English | ISBN: 9042946857 | 2022 | 226 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The quest for the historical Israel is fraught. But, by taking a closer look at the capitol of the Northern Kingdom some answers are possible. Through comparative analyses of archaeological sites in the Phoenician homeland and ancient texts, the Samaria’s history comes into higher relief and its Phoenician origins are evident. Far from being part of the putative Davidic Kingdom and Judah’s sister, Samaria was independent and worked with multiple groups up to the invasion of Assyria in 722BCE. Its ties to Phoenician cities are stronger than those to Judah. Shechem and Jezreel also reveal some interesting ties; those may be Israelite cities, but not in the traditional sense. Shaking up conventional ideas of the historical Israel, this volume also explores the importance of the Biblical text and the acts of mythopoesis that brought Samarians, Judaeans, and other groups under a new ethnic identity after Assyria’s invasion and beyond, Israel.

The Israeli-West-German Reparations Agreement from September 10, 1952, is considered an event of paramount importance in the history of the State of Israel due to its dramatic and far-reaching implications in multiple spheres. Moreover, this agreement marked a breakthrough in international law. It recognized the right of one country to claim compensation from another, in the name of a people scattered around the globe, and following events that took place at a time when neither polity existed.
