The Gate of Hell
by Alfred CoppelRoss Ferrar...a veteran of the Korean War, a soldier by profession, is serving as a volunteer with an Israeli paratroop company. Sarai Steiner, once a terrified young refugee from Nazi Austria who fled to England, is now a lovely woman living in Israel. This is the story of Ross and Sarai, their struggle to avoid love, and then to grasp it in the midst of the conflict between Israel and Egypt. This is far more than the bittersweet and moving record of two decent human beings caught in an unconventional emotional cross-current. It is also a vibrant portrait of a new nation in an old land, and a saga of battle, new in its techniques, but ancient in its test of men and its cruel consorting with chance. Here is the exciting adventure and pulsating emotion. Projected against an authentic moment in history, it is grimly real and tenderly human.
