The Haj

by Leon Uris

Overview

“The narrative is fast paced, bursting with action, and obviously based on an intimate grasp of the region, its peoples, their tradition and age-old ways of life.”—John Barkham Reviews

Leon Uris retums to the land of his acclaimed  best-seller Exodus for an epic story of hate and love, vengeance and forgiveness and  forgiveness. The Middle East is the powerful setting for this sweeping tale of a land where revenge  is sacred and hatred noble. Where an Arab ruler tries to save his people from destruction but  cannot save them from themselves. When violence spreads like a plague across the lands of  Palestine—this is the time of The Haj.
