"In my opinion From Catastrophe to Power is the most remarkable book on the twisted relation between the Holocaust and the creation of the State of Israel. It brilliantly shows how a group of clever people, namely the Mossad, organized the clandestine Jewish immigration in Palestine from 1945 to 1948, paving a way for crude politics in the midst of tragedy."--Pierre Vidal-Naquet
