When it comes to the most dramatic event in history to epitomize a nation s transition from slavery to freedom, no story captures the world s imagination more than the Jewish nation s exodus from Egypt.

The author draws upon a wealth of traditional sources along with a rich array of classic commentaries, and then weaves it all together to create a seamless narrative that reads like an exciting novel.
This is history on a grand scale; the stirring story of the birth of the Jewish from the roots of their arrival in Egypt, through centuries of suffering, through the ten plagues, leading up to that epic moment known as the Exodus.
Written with compelling insight, historical precision, and narrative flair, Let My Nation Go brings the birth of the Jewish nation vividly to life. It will forever change the way you view this momentous chapter in the unfolding history of the world.

I enjoyed reading it and learned quite a bit. If you are looking for a readable, comprehensive look at the Jewish history of slavery in Eygpt and the Exodus then I would recommend this book. The author does a good job of describing the events vividly.
