Summary

A true-life thriller about the journey of one of the world’s most precious manuscripts-the 10th century annotated Hebrew Bible known as the Aleppo Codex-from its hiding place in an ancient Syrian synagogue to the newly-founded Israel. Using his research, including documents which have been secret for 50 years and interviews with key players, AP correspondent Friedman tells a story of political upheaval, international intrigue, charged courtroom battles, obsession, and subterfuge.

Fascinating book. I typically read fiction...and this "story" is written in such an interesting and engaging way that it could be fiction. Great to learn about "The Crown" in such a way. Loved it!
