Jeffrey Weiss joins Eve Harow to talk about the immensely absorbing book he co-wrote with his brother Craig about Stan Andrews and the Birth of the Israeli Air Force. A thrilling read, the book not only delves into the life of this Jewish American fighter pilot but the fascinating and complicated backdrop of the times; WWII, the struggles of the nascent state of Israel in the shadow of the Holocaust and the inner conflicts of American Jewry. Andrews was one of the heroic volunteers who played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Jewish state. Excellently written, ‘Fighting Back’ once again reminds us to appreciate the sacrifices of great people on whose shoulders we stand.
