The Book of Valor

Israel Halperin

1941

Foreword

This book seeks to unfold before the reader the scroll of Jewish valor, in both Israel and the diaspora, from the destruction of the Hebrew state to the harbingers of the renaissance of the Jewish man. And these are the manifestations of valor during this period: wars of liberation, self-defense, and martyrdom.
