The reviews on this book are somewhat uneven. All in all, however, it looks like a worthwhile book. For certain, it gives a lot of "bang for the buck," with the book having 560 pages and being marked down to $2.99!
A book on the life and work of Paul is a good reference work to have on part of the New Testament (the Acts of the Apostles forward). Similarly, a history of Israel is a good reference work to have for Old Testament and Intertestamental Bible study.
The author, Walter Kaiser, is a prolific author, and prolific contributor to other books. He is an evangelical, and the publisher is B&H, so you can expect the book to take the position that the Biblical record is historically accurate.
I happen to know that this ebook is also available for

Book Description
A History of Israel
refutes many of today's common misconceptions about Israel and sets down an accurate account of its history, from the Patriarchal Age to the birth of Christ, based on Holy Scriptures. With his customary thoroughness and attention to detail, Walter C. Kaiser, Jr., has carefully research his subject, assembled the facts, and conveyed his findings in a convincing narrative style. Kaiser not only uses the Bible as a resource, but also supports the Scriptures' historical claims with ancient Eastern documents and compelling archaeological evidence.
The complete chronological history of Israel presents and explains:
* Current approaches to the study of the history of Israel
* Common fallacies found in modern secular historical study
* The most convincing proofs for the historical authenticity of the Bible
