Stern: The Man and His Gang traces Abraham Stern s evolution from hated gangster to folk hero and chronicles the military and political deeds of the thousand Jews who joined his war against England. In the 1940s; before there was an Israel; the Holy Land was rocked by warfare and violence; and no militia was fiercer than the band of Jewish revolutionaries known as the Stern Gang. Stern: The Man and His Gang by Zev Golan is the first English-language account of the life of Abraham Stern; the charismatic poet who founded the underground that called itself the Fighters for the Freedom of Israel. Stern: The Man and His Gang also provides a comprehensive history of the gang s operations in the years 1940-48; when it fought what it called British imperialism in the Mideast.
