Skillfully, too, Sachar elucidates shifting Soviet policies toward Israel, and the manner in which these policies affected those of the United States. A master of historical narrative, Sachar once again enlightens us with penetrating scholarship, insightful analysis, and an unerring grasp of human -- and national -- motivations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45084563374231,"sku":"9780679776130","price":1087.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780679776130.webp?v=1767636975","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/israel-and-europe-an-appraisal-in-history-9780679776130","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
