New Heavens

"This memoir describes an earlier period when Senior and many like him were dedicated to getting Israel on its feet among the nations of the world. This autobiography sheds a new and very personal light on the struggle that began as the establishment of a new country and . . . yet today, still persists as one of the world’s primary conflicts between people who are, in reality, brothers."—From the foreword by Peter B. Mersky, series editor for Potomac’s Aviation Classics

"Boris Senior told me . . . his main aim in writing [this] book was to tell of the rise of the state and the miracle that happened to the Jewish people between the most terrible period of [their] history, the Holocaust, and the wonder of the founding of an independent country and its War of Liberation. I knew that, as always, he would fulfill his promise and complete his mission in time."—From the foreword to the first edition by Ezer Weizman, former president of Israel

"A fascinating life. . . . Senior’s use of language is rich and flowing . . . moving."—Ha'aertz

"From the moment you open this book to the reluctant moment you turn the final page, you are mesmerized. New Heavens is a story that must be told, the story of the creation of a nation and . . . the personal story of a boy who all too quickly becomes a man. It is not by chance that Tom Brokaw, in his book The Greatest Generation Speaks: Letters and Reflections, specifically names Boris Senior as one of that generation."—Harold Livingston, author of No Trophy No Sword: An American Volunteer in the Israeli Air Force During the 1948 War of Independence
