But day~to~day life in Israel is a story that doesn't get written by outsiders.'' The forty essays that make up Confrontations: Israeli Life in the Year of the Uprising succeed where the superficial reportage of the international press has failed: they take us beyond cliche and into the daily lives of the Israeli people. Louis Rapoport' s personal and wide~ranging examination of the state of the State of Israel is must reading for anyone who wants to understand the complexity of Israel's journey through history.
