Neither easy nor difficult to read. Produced by Jonathan Ingram, Steven desJardins and PG Distributed Proofreaders "With the Turks in Palestine" by Alexander Aaronsohn is a historical account written during the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's personal experiences as a Jewish man living in Palestine during World War I, detailing the struggles faced by the Jewish community under Ottoman rule. It provides a vivid portrayal of life in Zicron-Jacob, a settlement founded by Jewish pioneers, and explores themes of resilience, identity, and the harsh realities of war and oppression. At the start of the narrative, Aaronsohn reflects on his childhood in Zicron-Jacob and the founding of the community by his parents. He recounts the innovative agricultural practices introduced by the settlers, aimed at reviving the land using progressive methods. However, the tranquility of village life is shattered when the Turkish government enlists Jewish and Christian men for military service amidst the broader turmoil of the war. The author describes the brutal conditions faced during training, the impending dangers of conscription, and the deepening unrest within the community as oppressive actions by the Turkish authorities threaten their safety and existence. The opening chapters vividly set the stage for a compelling tale of survival and resistance amidst the backdrop of a turbulent historical period.
