What does that do to a person’s soul, to the spirit of a nation? To both the occupied and the occupier?International Booker Prize-winning Israeli novelist David Grossman has spent decades campaigning for peace in Israel and Palestine. But after October 7th 2023, a day marking the biggest loss of Jewish life in this century, he retreated inwards to ask himself difficult and necessary questions about his beloved nation:How could this massacre have happened?How could the Netanyahu government, tangled in its web of scandals, fail to protect its citizens?And did October 7 and the war that followed take with it their last hope of a two-state solution?In eleven essays David Grossman traces the years leading up to that day and the ensuing war through a string of failures by a morally bankrupt party clinging to power. He documents the struggle being fought on both sides between those committed to conflict, and the many who simply want to live in peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUltimately, Grossman arrives at the most important question of all: Will there ever be a lasting peace in the region?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43704933417004,"sku":"9781787335509","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781787335509.jpg?v=1722934138","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781787335509","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
