Trade Review
Intelligent, sympathetic, resonant and accessible -- Nick Hornby * Sunday Times *
Outstanding... Unblinkingly harsh, this journey is also, in its sheer honesty and decency, a work of hope * Observer *
The Yellow Wind established Grossman as one of Israel's finest political writers. His latest examination of the Palestinian tragedy is of equal quality, sympathetic without being patronising, sensitive to the point of pain -- Robert Fisk * Independent *
A writer of passionate self-honesty, unafraid to ask terrible questions -- Nadine Gordimer
A fine, sympathetic book... Its insights reverberate far beyond the Middle East * Scotsman *
