In Search An Autobiography

by Meyer Levin

In 1928, Meyer Levin, star reporter on the Chicago Daily News, left to become the first American chalutz in Palestine. He experienced the riots of 1929 and wrote the most vivid story of pioneer life in the Holy Land. As a war correspondent, he shared the foxholes of Jewish GIs and spearheaded to every concentration camp. He made his way behind the iron curtain and filmed the Hagannah's entire escape route from the Warsaw ghetto to the Haifa harbor. This book is a study of the inner Jew. It seeks, as the author says, to touch the human spirit with my Jewish experience as the probe.

A very old book and at times, slow and plodding. Not a big fan of Levin's writing style. Some of it was interesting, other parts were not. Glad I'm done with it, and moving on to something better.
