Patricia Goldstone, acclaimed journalist, playwright, and author of 'Making the World Safe for Tourism' has just published a new book on Aaron Aaronsohn, the extraordinary Jewish adventurer who rivalled T.E. Lawrence in creating the modern Middle East and insisted even more strongly on Arab-Jewish partnership.
The author first came across Aaron and his beautiful and courageous sister Sarah, who may have been the only woman Lawrence ever loved, when she was researching a book on water and conflict in the Middle East.
She was struck by the silence around someone who seemed to have been an enormous figure: far ahead of his time, he foresaw that water, not oil, would one day become the most important commodity in the Middle East.
