Story
Israel is a tiny state, and yet it has captured the world's attention, aroused its imagination, and, lately, been the object of its opprobrium. Why does such a small country speak to so many global concerns? More pressingly: Why does Israel make the decisions it does? And what lies in its future? We cannot answer these questions until we understand Israel's people and the questions and conflicts, the hopes and desires, that have animated their conversations and actions.

Story
How could the Jews comprise less than one percent of the world’s population, yet make up 22 percent of Nobel laureates? Despite passing through innumerable challenges, the Jews have produced stunningly gifted people in the sciences, humanities, and economics. Through the millennia and around the world, Jewish history is an astounding story of survival against all odds, yet a touching narrative of faith, covenant, and tradition.

Story
A historical tour de force that demolishes the myths and taboos that have surrounded Jewish and Israeli history, The Invention of the Jewish People offers a new account of both that demands to be reckoned with. Was there really a forced exile in the first century, at the hands of the Romans? Should we regard the Jewish people, throughout two millennia, as both a distinct ethnic group and a putative nation—returned at last to its Biblical homeland? In this iconoclastic work of history, Shlomo Sand provides the intellectual foundations for a new vision of Israel's future.

Story
The Jewish people are one of the oldest living people groups on the planet. The Jews lived alongside the ancient Egyptians, Babylonians, Phoenicians, and Sumerians - all of whom have since disappeared from the pages of history. Yet the Jews still remain. Despite all of the odds, Jewish culture, language, laws, and religion have remained intact over the course of thousands of years.

Powerful
I found this audiobook incredibly informative. It provides a thorough and detailed account of the rich and complex history of the Jewish people, from ancient times to modern statehood. The pivotal moments and sheer perseverance of the people make it a compelling listen. Although it can feel dense at times due to the magnitude of information, I especially appreciated the clear explanation of how Jewish communities have shaped modern civilization. The resilience of the people is truly inspiring, though it’s disheartening to hear about the atrocities they've endured because of their culture and religion. Yet, they continue to embody hope and perseverance for humanity. This audiobook offers a well-rounded and insightful look into Jewish history.

Really interesting history lesson!
This book covers the history of the Jewish people from the beginning until now. It was really interesting, and especially relevent in light of the current conflicts. It was informative and nonbias, and even highlighted famous people across different specialties thay were/are Jewish. I learned a lot, and especially liked that it helped me connect people and places from biblical times to modern days :).

Very interesting listen!
This history is so packed with lessons and inspiration. The plight of the Jewish journey keeps your attention and gives much to think about.
Babylonian captivity, the Holocaust, and so much more are detailed and chronicled in interest-peaking ways. Aeon even jumps into the Arab-Israeli conflict to give a unique perspective.
I didn't realize until this book the impact Jewish culture had on so many from the Renaissance through the Enlightenment Eras,
Highly recommend for anyone wanting to know more!
