About the book
"For nearly three thousand years, the black Jews of Ethiopia - known as the Falashas - maintained their faith and their identity in the face of drought, famine, and tribal war. They were indeed the lost tribe, tracing their ancestry to King Solomon and the queen of Sheba. Then in May 1991, these Ethiopian Jews staged a miraculous exodus. With Ethiopia exploding around them in brutal civil war, some fourteen thousand Falashas were safely airlifted to Jerusalem by the Israeli air force over the course of twenty-five harrowing hours. Told by the Israeli ambassador who made it happen, this book is the story of that incredible rescue - as well as the extraordinary history of the Falashas, the remarkable people whose faith never wavered, even when confronted with enormous atrocities."--BOOK JACKET.
