Folks who use Elazar, where are you putting Ari Shavit's My Promised Land? It begins with an account of his great-grandfather's arrival in Palestine in 1897 and so covers the time from the Zionist Revival to the Creation of the State (827), but it continues to the present (828). I'm inclined to go with 828, because what motivated him to write is the situation today.
This is not the first time that I've found it challenging that Elazar is so particular, that it's difficult to classify general works. Happens all the time with kids' books. How do you classify a book that's all about Israel - history AND geography AND agriculture AND arts, etc.? I will be happy to hear what others have decided.
