Why read it?

1 author picked Tunnels as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I loved it because of the quirky way it talks about the Arab Israeli conflict. I wouldn’t have picked it up if it were not for the comics and the irreverent way they deal with an issue that is often too difficult to handle.

From Yaron's list on make you an instant expert on Israel.
