The author takes us beyond the history books, into the real world of the Jewish Underground of the 1920s and 30s, before there was a State of Israel. Building on years of painstaking research of archival material plus in-depth interviews via participants who still recall those 'Wild West' years, Zev Golan reveals how the heroes of the Jewish people performed some less-than-heroic acts while chasing the Arab gangs and the entire British Empire off their land. These same heroes, heroines and rogues went on to become the elite leaders - Prime Ministers, Rabbis and world-famous scientists -- of the State of Israel.
