Youngblood Hawke

The Hope is the new State of Israel, and its servants include Zev Barak, a young army officer who rises to become military attaché in Washington; Sam Pasternak, arms procurer and master of shuttle diplomacy who heads up military intelligence; Benny Luria, fighter pilot whose finest hour comes over Sinai; Yael, the girl soldier with a penchant for powerful men; Nakhama, the beautiful Moroccan immigrant wife and mother; Kishote, the man with a charmed life who leads an armoured brigade through the desert; and, in America, there is the remarkable Virginia headmistress Emily, whose father is in the CIA. The towering story of modern Israel from Independence to the triumph of the Six-Day War is told through the bittersweet agonies of these people, who between them help create the Hope.

The Hope

Fred Allen

Fred Allen, vaudevillian and radio star of the 1930s and 40s was a unique talent whose humor pleased a vast audience-- from housewives and traveling salesmen to university professors who compared his satire to that of Jonathan Swift and Mark Twain--one of America's most admired comedians, one of radio's most frequently censored, and a master ad-libber whose style and substance influenced fellow comics. Allen was a dedicated correspondent, typing his letters out with two fingers on his portable typewriter, and the recipients were so delighted that a great many were carefully saved. When his widow, Portland Hoffa, appealed for contributions, thousands appeared from attics and cellars nation wide. Allen's letters are presented with as few explanatory footnotes and editor's comments as possible.
