A historical tour de force; The Invention of the Jewish People offers a groundbreaking account of Jewish and Israeli history. Exploding the myth that there was a forced Jewish exile in the first century at the hands of the Romans; Israeli historian Shlomo Sand argues that most modern Jews descend from converts; whose native lands were scattered across the Middle East and Eastern Europe.In this iconoclastic work; which spent nineteen weeks on the Israeli bestseller list and won the coveted Aujourd’hui Award in France; Sand provides the intellectual foundations for a new vision of Israel’s future.
