The Lemon Tree by Sandy Tolan

I listened to this on our Utah trip; it was phenomenal. I suppose I was expecting a quaint story of how a Jew and a Palestinian became friends; their tortured friendship is about ten percent of the book--the rest is a concise and fascinating history of Israel/Palestine. I had no idea how much I didn't know until I listened to this. Highly recommended.
