The Aaronsohn Saga
'...Katz s language is fluent and engaging, [reading] more like a novel than a work of history. He paints colourful portraits of all the main figures in the epoch and in doing so he also provides a fine picture of the life and times of the Yishuv and its relations with the outside world.' In the contemporary review of the 1936 travelogue Palestine on the Eve, by the Hungarian-born journalist Ladislas Farrago, a British writer wrote:  ...one day, truth will emerge from the well, and the Empire will learn what it owed to Aaron and Sarah Aaronsohn, Avshalom Feinberg, and others of that devoted band, who endured and died for their faith under the inspiration of Aaron.  Thanks to the indefatigable efforts and meticulous scholarship of Shmuel Katz, it seems that  one day  may have finally arrived. --Laurence Weinbaum, Jewish Affairs
