Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Printing [Stated]. xiii, [1], 242 pages. Signed on the front free endpaper by the author, Yael Dayan. DJ has some wear and soiling. Includes Prologue; Book One, Amalia; Book Two, Daniel; and Book Three, Amalia. This book is filled with the dramatic truth that history books leave out--a novel of love, loss, and courage that will move and remain with its readers long after it is finished. Set in Israel during the Yom Kippur War of October 1973, this is the story of Amalia and Daniel, whose marriage is strained not only by the tensions of a bitter war, but also by the involvement and participation each of them has in the struggle. Amalia serves in a military hospital, and caught up in that painful, demanding world are Avi, a friend from Amelia's who is now an Israeli expatriate; Julie, Avi's American wife, voicing an outsider's challenge to Israel single-minded commitment; Leib, the wealthy New York surgeon whose volunteer service is partly a self-imposed penance; and, drawing them all together, the silent figure of a critically burned unidentified soldier--a disturbing paradox in a country that thinks itself too small and close-knit to have an "unknown soldier." Yaël Dayan (born 12 February 1939) is an Israeli politician and author. She served as a member of the Knesset between 1992 and 2003, and from 2008 to 2013 was the chair of Tel Aviv city council. Dayan first made a name for herself as an author and columnist, writing for Yedioth Ahronoth, Ma'ariv, Al HaMishmar and Davar. She has published five novels as well as a memoir of the Six-Day War called Israel Journal: June 1967 and a biography of her father called My Father, His Daughter. Derived from a Kirkus review: After the Egyptian attack on Yom Kippur, 1973, Amalia Darom rushes to a Tel Aviv hospital to volunteer to tend the wounded that start quickly piling in. And in her burn ward, there's a horribly burned soldier without identification. Meanwhile, Amalia's husband Daniel, ostensibly a reservist but actually a member of Israeli intelligence, goes off to the Sinai front, where he joins a unit about to enter Suez City--and is soon sent on a mission to find an operative whom he himself recruited years back; he can't find him in Suez, and while there he's wounded in an ambush. Back in Tel Aviv, Amalia's unknown soldier finally dies. Eventually these two strands meet: the unidentified dead soldier was "Phoenix," Daniel's operative. Not surprisingly, Dayan has easy authority when writing both about intelligence and military operations; Amalia's psychological shock reads well. Dayan grabs and releases the catharsis of quick death, the concentrated fear and mourning and national apprehension that Israel faced in '73. This is clearly a book for overseas consumption, with lots of background explanation, but the impact is sharp and often heartbreaking. Seller Inventory # 81131
