by S. Yizhar

Book Overview

Exhilarating . . . How often can you say about a harrowing, unquiet book that it makes you wrestle with your soul? --Neel Mukherjee, The Times (London)

It's 1948 and the Arab villagers of Khirbet Khizeh are about to be violently expelled from their homes. A young Israeli soldier who is on duty that day finds himself battling on two fronts: with the villagers and, ultimately, with his own conscience.
