Re: who has seen
I've seen 'Cast A Giant Shadow'. It is the story of Mickey Marcus, the American who went to Israel to assist the Haganah and Palmach, the organisations that would morph into the IDF, during the War of Independence. Good Film, lots of stars, the main being Kirk Douglas as Marcus.
If you want a good read about the birth of Israel, read 'Exodus' by Leon Uris. The birth of Israel told through the prism of fiction. The best bit is that after reading it, you do a bit of background reading and you can place real people in place of the fictional characters.
I love Leon Uris. I swear I have read 'Battle Cry' in excess of 200 times.
