The Israelis: Ordinary People in an Extraordinary Land by Donna Rosenthal
Israel is smaller than New Jersey, with 0.11% of the world's population, yet captures a lion's share of headlines. From battlefields to bedrooms to boardrooms, discover the colliding worlds in which an astounding mix of 7.2 million devoutly traditional and radically modern people live. You'll meet "Arab Jews" who fled Islamic countries, dreadlock-wearing Ethiopian immigrants who sing reggae in Hebrew, Christians in Nazareth who publish an Arabic-style Cosmo, young Israeli Muslims who know more about Judaism than most Jews of the Diaspora, ultra-Orthodox Jews on "Modesty Patrols," and more.
For more information about the book and author check out the website http://books.google.com/books?id=b-w6GfokajcC&printsec=frontcover and read a preview.

Some of the participants are well known; most are obscure, unnoticed, and unpublicized. Other than their own circle of friends and family, few know of their heroic and unselfish service. Footsteps of David brings light to the often overlooked contributions of Jews to the American military.
