Israel Is Real: An Obsessive Quest to Understand the Jewish Nation and Its History »

A contributor to publications from The New Yorker and Vanity Fair to Rolling Stone, Rich Cohen has also written books that deftly explore little-known aspects of Jewish culture and heritage, including Tough Jews and The Avengers. His latest work, Sweet and Low, is an engaging look at the story behind a little pink packet that's become an American icon.

Praised everywhere from The New York Times to The Jerusalem Post, Cohen returns with an irreverent, erudite, and wildly entertaining history of Zion through the ages that is unlike any on the subject.
