2. A book that covers the experience of European Jews after ww2 before Israel was formed
3. A book about the history of Israel that would help better explain the history behind the current Israeli/Palestinian conflict

Leon Uris -

The Exodus
The Haj

Herman Wouk -

The Hope
The Glory


All four of those are good reads but are very tilted to a pro-Israeli point of view. They all largely gloss over the brutal Jewish terror campaigns of the Mandate era.
