Zusammenfassung:The story of Col. Ze'ev Shaham, better known to his countrymen as "Zonik," is among the most fascinating sagas that Israel has brought forth. More than just the life story of a single man, My Land of Tears and Laughter recreates the history of twentieth-century Israel through three generations of warriors, men whose courage is interwoven into the fabric of the nation
Zonik's father, Alexander Steinberg, was a renowned officer of the Hagana, and among the most fearless of its "Rechesh" weapons procurers - the men whose ingenuity and devotion armed the fledgling army bullet by bullet. Zonik's son, Eyal, was a tank commander who fell at the onset of the Yom Kippur War; his bravery in defending his men against the Syrian surprise attack saved them from annihilation
