Synopsis: A shocking act of terror brings the Middle East to the point of explosion. As the resulting political conflict threatens to erupt, a young Jewish-American lawyer joins the defense team of an arrested but possibly innocent Palestinian. Soon the lawyer's father, a famed criminal attorney, must win the Palestinian's case or risk losing his daughter forever. To do so, he must take into account the tormented history of the Holy Land from every possible angle.
THE TRIALS OF ZION combines the tension of the greatest courtroom dramas with the action of a fast-moving thriller, all set against the colorful backdrop of one of the most complex cultural settings in the world. Filled with memorable characters, this novel offers readers not only compelling suspense, but a panoramic view of the history of a beloved and bitterly contested land, and a sharply controversial perspective on the sources of--and the possible solutions to--the world's longest and most crucial international crisis.

Review: You need to walk into this book with an open mind, let me say that first!
If you do, you will not only get a great history lesson and view that we don;t normally get this side of the pnd, but you will get an excellent suspense read! I have never read any of Dershowitz's books before (meant to, just never did), and I'm glad I did read this one! The characters are very engaging and I can see where the author could get a couple of books in a series easily by bringing them back. AND it would be a series I would read!
If you have any history/mystery buff in your house, they'll love this book for its fast paced action and thorough historical research!
Contest will end on December 12th, at midnight. Winner will be picked by Random Number (random.org) on December 13th, and emailed. As soon as winner's info is received, I will mail their package out to them within the week!
