Synopsis
When war breaks out in 1973, childhood friends Haim and Dov are called up together to serve in their tank battalion, but in the chaos of battle the friends are separated. A month later, Haim returns alone, on his first leave home. Struggling to come to terms with his experiences he wonders what happened to Dov during those fateful days.

From the Publisher
The original title of Adjusting Sights, Tiyum Kavanot, refers to the adjustment of the gun sight of a tank, the optical device that brings the necessary coordinates into focus. But the word kavanot also means the spiritual intentions one has when praying, making the title a double meaning.
Haim Sabato used the writing to bring together all the coordinates of his life, juxtaposing the frenzy of war and the pain of friends killed with repeated reference to prayers and Talmudic passages.
