Story
From the acclaimed author who enthralled the world with Exodus, Battle Cry, QB VII, Topaz, and other beloved classics of twentieth-century fiction comes a sweeping and powerful epic adventure that captures the "terrible beauty" of Ireland during its long and bloody struggle for freedom. It is the electrifying story of an idealistic young Catholic rebel and the valiant and beautiful Protestant girl who defied her heritage to join his cause. It is a tale of love and danger, of triumph at an unthinkable cost.

Story
It was a time of crisis, a time of tragedy - and a time of transcendent courage and determination. Leon Uris’s blazing novel is set in the midst of the ghetto uprising that defied Nazi tyranny, as the Jews of Warsaw boldly met Wehrmacht tanks with homemade weapons and bare fists. Here, painted on a canvas as broad as its subject matter, is the compelling story of one of the most heroic struggles of modern times.

Gideon Zadok arrives in Israel with every intention to research a new book, mend a broken marriage, and improve his dysfunctional family. But as political tensions escalate and his family is evacuated, Zadok asks to follow Israeli paratroopers to secure Mitla Pass and finds himself in the midst of one of the largest global crises of the twentieth century. A sweeping novel of love, passion, and freedom, Mitla Pass stands as an epic look at modern Middle Eastern history and is quite possibly Uris’s most autobiographical work.

My favorite book of ALL Time
I'm very afraid that nothing I say is going to do this book justice, but I'm going to try. I read this book when I was a senior in High-School and I loved it then. That was 7 years ago. I've been requesting this book for a while so needless to say, I was overjoyed when I found it on audible this morning. What attracted me to this novel from the beginning was my fascination with Israel and how it became a nation in 1948. I had just returned from a trip to Israel 6 months before I read Exodus for the first time. so I knew a lot of the history. This book brought back not only knowledge but also memories of places in Israel where I had gone. It was bitter-sweet. This novel makes me feel like I'm coming home. What tugged at my heart about this novel the most was the characters. To me, these are some of the best in literature. You really get to see who these people are. They make mistakes, they laugh, they love, they quarrel, Etc., and the reader feels all that. Uris really brings out the conflicts, the emotions, the tension, Etc. so very well. I feel like I am inside the book. I'm on chapter 10, but I'm already hooked. The narrator does a good job I think. If you have any kind of interest in Israel, I'd say read this book. I love it and can't wait to finish it. To me, this book is like a pair of worn jeans. It just feels good. I hope audible puts up Trinity and Redemption next. Thank you audible. You have no idea how happy you've made me today.:)

Has changed my life
This is THE most redeeming story I have ever read or listen to. I was moved to tears many times, Not because of the the extreme sadness in the story, but because of the love and compassion that is shown. A story based on fiction could never carry the power that is in this story because it is true, and you can feel that the entire time you're reading it.

Important book, not a good one
I wanted to read Exodus because of the author and the fact that it is well known as an important book about the creation of Israel. I learned quite a bit of history, so I don't entirely regret the time I spent, but this is not good literature. The characters are shallow stereotypes whose actions and stories are always a difficult to believe. No depth or complexity complicates their stories. Just as problematic to me was that the book READS like propaganda. I was (and still am) sympathetic to the Jewish story described herein. However, the book reads like mythology, not history. Only one perspective is ever presented, and the heroes of the story are almost supernatural while the villains are predictably cowardly, sinister, and incompetent. I feel strongly compelled toward further research of this history in order to find some truth that I can understand and believe.

Uris Masterpiece
Where does Exodus rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
That is hard to say. I listened to Exodus many years ago with a different reader. I liked that version better. This reader was good,though. I gave him four stars. The book is an all time favorite. I read it many years ago and fell in love with Israel and Leon Uris. I love all his books.I would love to see you do QBVII.
What did you like best about this story?
The history of the Holocaust and the building of the state of Israel.The characters and their trials stay with you for a long time.This is a very heartwrenching book. If you don't want a lump in your throat,don't bother with this one.
What about Paul Michael’s performance did you like?
This was a smooth performance. The only critique I could think of,was a slight lack of passion.That might be my taste. When I read Uris I always feel over the top emotionally.It was a wee bit dry to me.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes! I could hardly stop even though I had read the book and listened to it before.Leon Uris is a very exciting writer.If you haven't read him before,Exodus is the one to start with.

Heartwrenching, thrilling and excellent
This is one of the greatest stories I've ever heard. I can't remember a time when I cried so often about a book and its content. Some passages are so gut-wrenching. One might think this is a bad thing but it isn't. It shows how very impressive it is and captivating. If you are interested in jewish history, you have to read or hear this book.
I can recommend the book a 100%! I will hear it more than once.

More history of Israel, less novel; still liked it
This "novel" is one I have meant to read for years. I read and enjoyed other Uris novel when I was young. I wanted to learn more about the founding of Israel. I knew that I would be getting a Jewish slant on things. The novel touches on the Holocaust and World War 2, with most of the story focusing on events after the war leading to the founding of Israel. I am not Jewish, but read things that might give me some perspective on the Middle East. While I realize that there are two sides to every story, I did learn a lot. This book is long. About half of it feels like a novel, and half feels like an historical narrative. It feels a little like the Wouk novels of World War 2, except Wouk's story's felt like novels throughout, with a lot of historical backdrop. Exodus has so much more descriptive history, and it was a little choppy the way he wove in and out of his novel. That said, there were powerful moments, and I did learn a lot. A book has to be pretty good for me to stay with it for 29 hours. The narrator was great. I'm glad I listened.
