Title: A Syrian border Kibbutz during the Six- Day War
Product review: New York Times magazine journalist Gertrude Samuels visited Israel periodically before 1967.She would often stay at the frontier kibbutz of Gonen on the Syrian border. This kibbutz was under fire from the Syrians, and courageously maintained a presence in the face of this hostlity. In this small work Samuels tells the story of the kibbutz during the Six Day War. She writes sympathetically about the Israelis, their plight, their dedication to their country, their hardworking modesty. She captures the spirit of another time. She gives portraits of the individuals. This is an excellent descriptive work which though it does not go very deep gives a true picture and feeling of the Israeli society of another time.
