The Bedouin scouts are the largely-unsung heroes of the Jewish state. The Scout is based on the true story of the legendary Salim Saadi; tracing his extraordinary life; and his daring exploits serving in the Israeli army; as well as providing a broader view of Bedouin history; and Bedouin-Jewish relations in Israel. Author Steven Plaut draws on Islamic and Jewish religious themes; Bedouin folklore and historical events; masterfully combining these distinct fragments to create a rich and absorbing story.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. ExcellentBy IAKThis is an excellent compilation of original documents about an all-but-forgotten chapter in the history of WWII; and the end of Soviet-German pact of 1939. After many years; it is finally good to see the history of the Ukraine being told objectively and dispassionately through an independent non-Moscow-oriented lens.
