Thanksgiving All Year Round describes Gavriel Shapiro's eventful life, which spans over seventy years, in three different countries and on as many continents.

This book first delves into Shapiro's ancestry, thereby providing a partial slice of Russian Jewish history and offers an individual perspective on what it meant to grow up in the Soviet Union in the aftermath of WWII. Thanksgiving All Year Round also gives a personal account of the rise and development of Jewish national awareness and describes a struggle for the immigration to Israel in the late 1960s and the early 1970s through job loss, persecution, arrests, imprisonment, and trial. further, it relates the author's life in Israel, including his work at the Voice of Israel, study at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and service in the Israel Defense Forces. Finally, it explores the author's academic career in the United States, from the graduate school at the University of Illinois to professorship at Cornell University.
