About this listen
“Passionate summary of the inhuman treatment of the Jewish people in Europe, of the exodus in the 19th and 20th centuries to Palestine, and of the triumphant founding of the new Israel.” (The New York Times)

Leon Uris magnificently portrays the birth of a new nation in the midst of enemies - the beginning of an earthshaking struggle for power. Here is the tale that swept the world with its fury: the story of an American nurse, an Israeli freedom fighter caught up in a glorious, heartbreaking, triumphant era. Here is Exodus - one of the great best-selling novels of all time.

Story
From the acclaimed author who enthralled the world with Exodus, Battle Cry, QB VII, Topaz, and other beloved classics of twentieth-century fiction comes a sweeping and powerful epic adventure that captures the "terrible beauty" of Ireland during its long and bloody struggle for freedom. It is the electrifying story of an idealistic young Catholic rebel and the valiant and beautiful Protestant girl who defied her heritage to join his cause. It is a tale of love and danger, of triumph at an unthinkable cost.

Story
It was a time of crisis, a time of tragedy - and a time of transcendent courage and determination. Leon Uris’s blazing novel is set in the midst of the ghetto uprising that defied Nazi tyranny, as the Jews of Warsaw boldly met Wehrmacht tanks with homemade weapons and bare fists. Here, painted on a canvas as broad as its subject matter, is the compelling story of one of the most heroic struggles of modern times.

Story
Originally published in 1953, Leon Uris’s Battle Cry is the raw and exciting story of men at war from a legendary American author. This is the story of enlisted men - Marines at the beginning of World War II. They are a rough-and-ready tangle of guys from America’s cities and farms and reservations. Led by a tough veteran sergeant, these soldiers band together to emerge as part of one of the most elite fighting forces in the world. With staggering realism and detail we follow them into intense battles - Guadalcanal and Tarawa.

Never is an extraordinary novel, full of heroines and villains, false prophets and elite warriors, jaded politicians and opportunistic revolutionaries. It brims with cautionary wisdom for our times, and delivers a visceral, heart-pounding story that transports listeners to the brink of the unimaginable.

History we need to know
I have promised myself for several years that I must read this book. I read Trinity and it put the Irish troubles into context. It's not about taking sides but if you understand what motivates a people then you get a look into history in a way that no academic can.
Leon does this with Exodus. The book covers a huge amount of material in a way that kept me at the trough. Leon is a master. Strongly recommend!!

The history of the Jewish nation
This was a beautiful yet heartbreaking story of the struggle of the Jews over the last 2000 years. It gave me a much clearer understanding of today’s current events. I can highly recommend it.

Important classic that reacquainted me with Israel
Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this novel which I had read decades ago. It has stood the test of time. I think in this present age ,when we are getting so much noise from anti Israel propaganda,it is important to familiarize ourselves with Israel’s origin at a time when the targeted annihilation of the Jews had reached epic proportions under Hitler.

The Jewish Plight
I read the book over 40 years ago. So glad I rediscovered its content by accessing historical background and perspective through this unabridged audio. Great narration. IMHO ... A classic now in audio format. Well done!

Entertaining Propaganda
I was shocked at how cartoonishly racist Exodus was, I would generally try to not judge a book written in the 50s by todays standards, but popular depictions of the Arabs and Palestinians haven't changed much since it was written, so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.
Viewed with the hindsight of the past 70+ years in the region, and the world, this book is clearly tired propaganda depicting the inhabitants of the land as backward and savage, and the arriving Jews as having no choice but to take over the land, when all they wanted was peace. Not even the Jewish Arabs are spared from being represented as one step above animals.
Really you could replace "Arab" with any native population, and "Jew" with any group seeking to establish a state on someone else's land, and you've heard this narrative before. Seriously even the bible has more subtlety when trying to depict who the "bad guy" is. This book is clearly trying to sell you something and has so little tact, that I don't know if I should laugh or cry.
How is Exodus is still taken seriously in the 21st century? I have had multiple people point me to this book for it's historicity, and it makes me question peoples critical thinking skills, or wonder if they've read or listened to it recently.
Even though this story is clearly propaganda, I still think it's worth the listen/read, it is entertaining and Paul Michaels narration is fantastic, he has a voice that suits the period well, but if you take this for history or "historical" fiction, I have a bridge to sell you.
