Exodus by Leon Uris – Reviewed for Ellroy Reads

For the latest episode of Ellroy Reads I look at Leon Uris’s novel Exodus. An epic tale of the Holocaust and the creation of the State of Israel, Exodus was the biggest bestseller in American literature since Gone With The Wind, but as with Margaret Mitchell’s novel of the American Civil War, Exodus is now viewed with increasing scepticism due to a number of controversial factors in the book.

I discuss these factors as well as a number of controversial issues surrounding James Ellroy’s life. I hope you enjoy the episode, and do remember to subscribe, share and like the content. Shalom.
