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. From the often~infuriating bureaucracy to the colorful life of the markets to the tensions of the current troubles, Rapoport takes us inside the confrontations that define life in this inspirational, turbulent country. With depth and honesty, he surveys Israeli life in all its comic and tragic aspects, and he concludes the book with a report of his own army reserve service on the Gaza Strip that frightens almost as much as it informs. In a year when the State of Israel has celebrated its fortieth birthday while dealing with the turmoil of the Palestinian uprising, the need to understand the complex mix of people and events that is Israel is more important than ever. Confrontations gives us the context we need to ask the right questions, to assess the legacy and current status of this important country as it heads into to what may be the most important era of its history.
