La sombra de un gigante (1966)
Guerra Árabe-israelí de 1948. En 1947 David Ben-Gurion pidió al coronel David Daniel Marcus, militar norteamericano de origen judío, que reclutara un alto oficial del ejército de los Estados Unidos como asesor del naciente ejército israelita: la Haganah. Como no pudo encontrar ningún voluntario, se ofreció él mismo, siendo autorizado por el Departamento de Guerra de su país, a condición de que ocultara su verdadera identidad y su nombre. Bajo el nombre de Michael Stone se pone al frente de las tropas judías que lucharán contra los árabes para fundar el estado de Israel. Fue el primer general del moderno ejército israelí.
