Beer and Bagels for Breakfast

What happens when a 23-year-old English lad, in search of freedom and a new way of life, turns up on an Israeli kibbutz? First published in 1999, Beer and Bagels for Breakfast recounts John Carson's hilarious first brushes with communal culture on a kibbutz, situated just miles away from the Gaza Strip. Along with a host of international volunteers, he encounters security scares, hard work and romance, with frequent detours to the pub. Follow John's adventures - and misadventures - by taking a peek into his secret diary. This is one travel book that should occupy territory on anyone's bookshelf!
