The Definitive Rap: Interview with Barry Shaw’s Book on the life of Zionist Spy Sarah Aaronsohn

We are post the Jewish holiday of Chanukah where the heroine in the historic victory of the saga schemed to take on Holofernes. How apropos to this show about a woman who was a Zionist pioneer, spy, and patriot, a Joan of Arc type of martyr and heroine.

Baila Sebrow producer and host of The Definitive Rap show sat down with Israeli correspondent Barry Shaw who wrote a book about the dramatic life of the Sarah Aaronsohn in this historical novel and her passion to go after Israel’s enemies. The book is titled A Tale of Love and Destiny and follows a remarkable young woman through a failed marriage into the turmoil of war, heroism and espionage. The story is based in what was then called Palestine during World War One, and how the dedication and
courage of Sarah helped pave the way for the creation of the Jewish State.

Barry discussed what motivated him to write the story about Sarah Aaronsohn. Though the facts are true, this is a novel. He gave the behind the scenes background of this novel from his perspective. 

Barry, talked in great detail about who Sarah Aaronsohn was as a person before she became a heroine, how it all came to be, and what her life was like. He described it all by the full glimpse into that part of her life.

Barry fascinates people by the information he exposes about Israel, that some may otherwise not be aware of. And that is what he always does. He reveals what the mainstream media hides or pretends does not exist.
