A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERJerusalem is a sweeping; epic graphic novel that follows a single family―three generations and fifteen very different people―as they are swept up in chaos; war; and nation-making from 1940-1948. Faith; family; and politics are the heady mix that fuel this ambitious; cinematic graphic novel. With Jerusalem; author-filmmaker Boaz Yakin turns his finely-honed storytelling skills to a topic near to his heart: Yakin's family lived in Palestine during this period and was caught up in the turmoil of war just as his characters are. This is a personal work; but it is not a book with a political ax to grind. Rather; this comic seeks to tell the stories of a huge cast of memorable characters as they wrestle with a time when nothing was clear and no path was smooth.
