This book was written in 1968. It was given to me by my friend, Howard 40 years later, in 2008. And I finally sat down to read it in 2016. It was a worthwhile read. Though dated (so much history has transpired since 1968) I enjoyed reading something that ambitiously sets out to chronicle an entire "people" from the beginning of history through 1968.
The general arch of the narrative is just what one would expect. The Jews have always viewed themselves as the Children of Promise, the Covenant House of Israel. But from the earliest of times, they have been in conflict with the world around them. A comprehensive review of this book is not possible unless I were to attempt to write an extensive summary of each chapter. So my overall impressions will suffice.
What other people have remained identifiable over such a long period of time when much of that history transpired beyond the geography of a homeland? From the time of the Babylonian conquest, the majority of the Jews have lived beyond the Levant. How did these people maintain an identity? The creation of “the book”; the Hebrew Bible and the religion that emerged from it.
It is hard for me to summarize this book. As surely as water and wind have sculpted the majestic form of the Grand Canyon, persecution has been the constant external force exerting its cruel and painful effects on the Jews overall time. Somehow, the result of this has been unifying and even redeeming. I marvel at the achievements and impact of the Jewish people on the world.
Stereotypes – When societies suffer adversity, they naturally look for scapegoats (funny how we use that word that comes from the Hebrew Bible itself.) Jews have been one of the predictable targets of scapegoating over time. The modern version of the KKK targeted not only the Blacks but Catholics and Jews as well. Conspiracy theories abound, even to this day, about the controlling interest of the Jews in banking, Hollywood, the University, etc. An example is the belief in the authenticity of the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion”, first published in the early 1900s and pretending to detail a secret society of Jews bent on world domination and the destruction of morals of the Gentiles. Embracing this fiction, such influential people as Henry Ford re-published this fiction as though it were fact.
The rise of the State of Israel – As I read the final chapters I wondered how the State of Israel came to be. Obviously, the State was “created” with the United Nations resolution. But the force of the resolution was meaningless without the armed struggle of the Jews giving it meaning. Odds were stacked against their prevailing. In a miracle as unlikely as possibly the birth of the United States of America after the “paper” of the Declaration of Independence, Israel overcame insurmountable odds. Israel had to overcome obstacles created by Britain after WWII. Britain obstructed Israel at every turn. How could our two staunchest allies have been such virulent opponents?
Holocaust – A central story of WWII is the Holocaust. Abba Eban finds a balance in describing the events of the Holocaust and how key nations dealt with the “Final Solution” without weighing me down with too many excruciating details. It is still hard to read.
Modern Middle Eastern War – The War of 1967 is told in broad detail. Finally, Israel was able to seize the initiative and push back her foes in a short, six-day conflict. The power structure of the modern Middle East would never be the same. I wish the Eban had written this book after 1973 and the Yom Kippur War. I would love to read his insights.
Summary – If you like world history and are interested in the Bible and the “people of the book” you will learn to enjoy this book. I know I did. Knowing that the author is Jewish and one of the most significant leaders in the early days of Modern Israel, obviously the book is to be written from a certain perspective. I think that this is a strength of the book, not a weakness. I recommend this book. It is out of print but is easy to find on Amazon.

Abba Eban was one of Israel's greatest statesmen. Here the man who helped to make history, documents the history of his own people.My People: The Story of the Jews is the history of the Jewish Nation from the time of Abram and his journey into Canaan, until 1968 CE.
He points out that just as the history of the Jewish Nation began in the Land of Israel, with the return of the Jews to Israel and the re-establishment of the State of Israel 'The journey has come back to where it first began'.
Eban covers the story of Abram and his journey to Canaan, the sojourn of the Israelites in Egypt, and their return to Canaan under Joshuah's leadership.
He succintly and skilfully describes the history of ancient Israel describing the great Commonwelath of David and Solomon, the division of the Land of Israel into two Kingdoms, and the wisdom of the Prophets.
He describes how 'Israel's history assumes a unique quality with the Babylonian captivity.Many people have preserved their nationalism on their own soil, even under foreign conquest, but never before had any people preserved it's national identity and spiritual distinctiveness in exile for thousands of years with sufficient vitality to ensure an ultimate rebirth'.
Through millenia the Nation of Israel has remained a unique nation, even in exile retaining it's eternal link with the Land of Israel.
As we progress through the history of the Jewish people through the Greek and Roman conquests and the courageous resistance of the Jews to the ocupation of their homeland, through the destruction of the temple and the eventual exile from the land we are reminded of this.
One must remember that there always remained a Jewish presence in the Land of Israel, throughout the exile, There was never a time when there were no Jews in the Holy Land. This is a story of endurance and renewal. It is a story of how the Jews survived all the massacres and persecution, from the Romans to the Crusaders who swept across Europe anihilating Jewish communities, to the horrific Chmielnitzki massacres and the pogroms in Eastern Europe, the Jews endured.
They refused to assimilate or renounce their faith.
Some like Mohammed and Martin Luther began with a sympathetic attitude to the Jews in the hope that the Jews would adopt these men's religions. When the Jews refused they turned on the Jews with savagery and hate.
The greatest miracle of all was the return to Zion.
We learn the real reason why the Arab leaders opposed the retun of the Jews to their ancient homeland. The doctrine of political equality and social justice that had swept through Europe and later across the Atlantic had made no impression on the dark Arab hinterland, and the Arab leaders and landowner feared the influence the Jewish example of democracy and socail justice would make on their own downtrodden masses.
That is why they stirred up their subjects to attack the Jewish returnees as they have been doing since 1920.
Describing the new Jewish communities set up in the Holy Land in the 1920s and 30s, many of them refugees from Nazi Germany, Eban describes how
'Settlement. cultivation of the land, and self-defence, were the practical answer of Palestine Jewry to Arab hostility and British vacillation. The response was coloured by an awareness of the inherent right of peoples to self-protection and by a belief in the inalienable dignity of human life as a principle from which Jewish life should not be excluded. The years 1939 to 1945 would see that principle shattered across the bloodstained continent of Europe'.
Eban stresses how the Zionist leadership tried to warn the world of the impending holocaust by the Nazis of world Jewry, and in vain urged the allies to act to save the 6 million Jews.
As Ebban describes the rebirth of the State of Israel and the wars of defence, he also stresses the great achievements in culture, medicine, humanity and science made by the Jewish State.
An answer to the vile critics of Israel today :"It is not an offense against the Middle Eastern traditions for a non-Arab and non-Moslem sovereignty to live and flourish in the original home of Hebrew memory and thought. The question is not whether Israel will change it's special nature, but whether the Arabs will come to terms with Israel as it is".
In discussing the Six Day War Ebban describes how the Arabs surrounded Israel with troops and weapons, openly threatening Israel and issuing threats of annihilation, much like those being currently issued by Iranian modern day Hitler, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The Six Day War was forced on Israel by the Arabs.
Essentially we are left marvelling how a world that once thundered at the Jews to get out of every land they lived in are now thundering at the Jews to leave their ancient homeland.
Abba Eban was a great statesman and leader and also proves that he was a great historian and writer. It is a pity he is no longer with us.

"Mitt Folk: Jødenes liv og historie", en bedre undertittel kunne vært "en kort oppsummering av jødenes historie frem til zionismen, og så en zionistisk polemikk for bokens siste halvdel", for det er det man får her.
Abba Eban selv var israelsk politiker, og jobbet som utenriksminister under seksdagerkrigen i 1967, så det er forsåvidt naturlig at han inntar et sterkt zionistisk ståsted. Boken er alt i alt oversiktlig og informativ, og derav får den 3 stjerner, men jeg vil ikke anbefale den til noen som søker en nøytral fremstilling av jødisk historie. Min utgave er fra 1972 og gitt ut av Nomi Forlag, som i dag er del av Luther forlag (ironisk mtp hva Luther selv skrev om jødene)
Tidlig i verket, når han snakker om profetenes rolle, blir det lagt frem at Israel er forutbestemt en egen rolle i verdens utvikling.
Han velger og å legge vekt på jødiske personligheter som har søkt å returnere til det hellige land, som Jehuda Ha-Levi:
Fremstillingen av historien opp til zionismens fremvekst er dog relativt nøytral sammenlignet med det som kommer senere. Man merker gradvis en mer nedlatende holdning til de arabiske folk, og en stadig mer ensidig fremstilling. Om Herzl skriver han:
Å klage over "orientalsk smuss" i en orientalsk by uten ironi er nesten imponerende.
Jeg skyter inn et sitat av Hugh Dalton om planer om demografisk utbytte i regionen:
Hvor skal araberne reise? Europa?
Et eksempel på nesten komisk selektiv fremstilling er når han skriver:
At det var jødiske terrorister som sto bak drapet blir selvsagt ignorert.
"Innvandring og pionerarbeid" kan like godt kalles kolonisering, folkemord & etnisk renskning, lebensraum, uten at jeg vil høres for "woke" ut. Israel er jo et godt eksempel på at en etnostat kan fungere glimrende, men vær nu ihvertfall ærlig om det. Etnisk renksning av Palestinere nevnes ikke i denne boken, og Nakba-en er og fraværende.

Tidlig i verket, når han snakker om profetenes rolle, blir det lagt frem at Israel er forutbestemt en egen rolle i verdens utvikling.
Deres endetidsforestillinger er basert på idéen om Israels supremati. Det vil si at Israel skal være verdens førerfolk, ikke i kraft av våpenmakt, men ved sin åndelige overlegenhet. «Det utvalgte folk har en mellomfolkelig misjon. Det er gjennom Israel at menneskeheten skal lære å «kjenne Gud og følge hans bud» (side 53)
Han velger og å legge vekt på jødiske personligheter som har søkt å returnere til det hellige land, som Jehuda Ha-Levi:
"Gis det for oss noe sted i vest eller i øst, som vi kan sette vårt håp til?" Hans eneste håp var Israel. Siden det babylonske fangenskap hadde ingen jøde uttrykt en så brennende lengsel etter «hjemmet og fedrelandet», grunnet på en så omfattende historisk innsikt.
Fremstillingen av historien opp til zionismens fremvekst er dog relativt nøytral sammenlignet med det som kommer senere. Man merker gradvis en mer nedlatende holdning til de arabiske folk, og en stadig mer ensidig fremstilling. Om Herzl skriver han:
De hadde hilst ham velkommen med hebraiske sanger og rop som «hedad» og «Hoch Herzl!». Han så hvor det trengtes vann i det uttørrede landet, i Jerusa-lem ble han frastøtt og nedslått av alt det orientalske smuss som satte sitt umiskjennelige preg på byen og ønsket å skape «et praktfullt Ny-Jerusalem».
Å klage over "orientalsk smuss" i en orientalsk by uten ironi er nesten imponerende.
Jeg skyter inn et sitat av Hugh Dalton om planer om demografisk utbytte i regionen:
Araberne skal oppmuntres til utvandring i samme utstrekning som jødene innvandrer.
Hvor skal araberne reise? Europa?
Et eksempel på nesten komisk selektiv fremstilling er når han skriver:
(...)grev Bernadotte, som var blitt myrdet av terrorister i Jerusalem.
At det var jødiske terrorister som sto bak drapet blir selvsagt ignorert.
USA understøttet Israel med en troskap som kun led et alvorlig knekk i 1956. Men alt i alt må det sies at ingen av landets venner har ydet Israel så stor støtte og sikkerhet som USA. Åndelig fellesskap og felles minner og erfaringer knyttet til innvandring og pionérarbeid har motivert De forente stater til å tone flagg i den grad det er blitt gjort.
"Innvandring og pionerarbeid" kan like godt kalles kolonisering, folkemord & etnisk renskning, lebensraum, uten at jeg vil høres for "woke" ut. Israel er jo et godt eksempel på at en etnostat kan fungere glimrende, men vær nu ihvertfall ærlig om det. Etnisk renksning av Palestinere nevnes ikke i denne boken, og Nakba-en er og fraværende.

A JEWISH HISTORY BY A DISTINGUISHED ISRAELI STATESMAN
Abba Eban (1915-2002) was an Israeli diplomat and politician. He wrote in the Foreword to this 1968 book, "My vocation has been to explain the Jewish people to a confused and often uncomprehending world. The central fact in modern Jewish experience has been the renewal of Israel's statehood... the title of this book is a frank confession that the story is written from within, by one who feels passionately committed to the strange destiny which he is trying to elucidate."
He notes that the philosopher "Philo thus embodies the extreme Hellenic development of Judaism. He held that between faith and philosophy there is no conflict. But he did not convince the [Jewish people] of his age..." (Pg. 84) Of Herod the Great, he comments, "A deep gulf separated Herod from his people. They resented the pagan customs which he brought to Jerusalem." (Pg. 87-89) Of the historian Josephus, he observes, "Josephus entered [Jewish] annals as a traitor. But his reputation for inconstancy was mitigated by his literary achievement... (he) is an unrivaled source for this period of Jewish history." (Pg. 96)
After the Bar Kochba revolt, "The Romans erased the name of Judah from official usage, choosing deliberately to call the country Palestine... Roman soldiers guarded (Jerusalem) assiduously against any... who might dare come to weep at the ruins of the Temple..." (Pg. 109)
Of the Medieval ghettos, he writes, "Talmudic law... received its fullest application in this period. The same discipline of legal and moral integrity which had proved so adequate a defense against Rome... was now employed against the heirs of Rome, the Holy Roman Empire and the Roman Catholic Church." (Pg. 213) He adds, "For the most part, the Jewish community as a whole remained untouched by the winds of change that swept the intellectual world in this period." (Pg. 225)
This is a fascinating one-volume history, which focuses on intellectual achievements as much as religious ones.

I found this book to be a fascinating book about the history of the Jewish people written by an intellectual and articulate Jewish man. As a person not of that tradition who is watching the current antics of mankind as a whole, I am tainted by the overall behavior of all of us. We start as children denying that the scuffle was started by me or in any way my fault. As adults, we seemingly behave in that same manner with a belief that I am right and you are wrong with an added touch of I want what you have so I will get it at any cost. History of the various cultures do a good job of supporting my thesis. Am I right???

To my knowledge, there is no other:
* historically-comprehensive (from ancient Biblical times),
* fully-faceted,
* fairly-balanced (e.g. discusses both the good and bad guys in ww2 which no other source I know of has),
* meaning-saturated,
* fact-filled,
* eloquently-written (Wintson Churchill agreed of this man's writings),
* and vision-driven...
story of the Jews.
This is required reading for my kids, and should be a staple in high schools / colleges.
The life of the Jews has been, and may unfortunately always be filled with tragedy, even if they do eventually get relegated to their homeland (unless we wise up of course).
