Based on declassified documents and more than 200 interviews, this book tells the story of the more than 1000 Americans and Canadians, Jews and non-Jews, who fought in Israel's War of Independence. I Am My Brother's Keeper captures the powerful story of those Jews and Christians who stood up to be counted at a critical time in Jewish history. Only three years after the Holocaust, these volunteers helped to establish the State of Israel. It will forever change your understanding of the relationship between Americans and Israelis.
