The Haj by Leon Uris
Set in Palestine from the 1920s through the aftermath of the 1948 war, the story follows a pragmatic village head and his son as their community is torn between coexistence and conflict with neighboring Jews, culminating in displacement and life in refugee camps. Through friendships and betrayals, it reveals how honor codes, corruption, and propaganda entrap ordinary people in cycles of fear and loss.
