Books by Tom Segev

3. Non-fiction book, about : Max Rodenbeck, Cairo: The City Victorious .  Few cities have a book this good.  There is also Dream Palace of the Arabs and Tom Segev's 1967 .  Which again is the really good book on the 1973 War?

4. Tom Segev, Simon Wiesenthal: The Life and Legends .  Many books on the Holocaust tread on well-tilled ground, but this was original and compelling throughout.  Here is a useful review , although I think it considerably exaggerates how critical the book is of Wiesenthal.  I also very much like Segev's The Seventh Million .
