Reseña del libro "Living in Heaven, Coping With Hell: Israel's Northern Borders: Where Zionism Triumphed, the Kibbutz Evolves, and the Pioneering Spirit Prevails (en Inglés)"
Living in Heaven, Coping with Hell is a meticulously researched, deeply reported and compellingly written account of the unique challenges and remarkable resilience of the Jewish communities along Israel’s often precarious northern borders. Clifford Sobin seamlessly combines the big picture about the region’s history, politics, economics and culture with detailed profiles of individual Israelis who have built their homes and lives on the nation’s “periphery”. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the transformation of the legendary kibbutz movement or about this often-misunderstood region of Israel in general. —David Leach, author of Chasing Utopia: The Future of the Kibbutz in a Divided IsraelClifford Sobin describes so well the experience of living on Israel's Northern border from the standpoint of its inhabitants.

The author takes you for an exciting trip where history, present, landscapes and people interwine. —Yuval Achouch, Ph.D, a sociologist living at Kibbutz Hanita who focuses his research and writing on kibbutz issues.
