On Sale 9/24/24
On October 7, 2023—the final day of the holiday of Sukkot—the Gaza-based terror group Hamas launched an unprecedented assault on the people of Israel. Over a thousand people from all walks of life were killed, including left-wing kibbutzniks, Burning Man-esque partiers, radical right-wingers, Bedouins, Israeli Arabs, Thai and Nepalese guest workers, peace activists, and elderly Holocaust survivors.
In 10/7, journalist Lee Yaron profiles victims from a wide range of communities, honoring their memories and revealing the way these attacks ripped open Israeli society and put the entire Middle East on the precipice of disaster.
10/7 is the most expansive account yet of the day, capturing the diversity of the victims and survivors and, by extension, of Israel as a whole.
The Jerusalem Post
A masterpiece of journalism, and of what can only be called humanism.
Adam Gopnik, author of The Crisis of Zionism and The Icarus Syndrome
10/7 is a shocking but heartfelt book, whose empathy is the only way forward.
Nicole Krauss, author of History of Love, Great House, Forest Dark, and To Be A Man
A remarkable investigation that brings the victims to life through countless testimonies that Yaron collected, giving life and flesh to dozens of families.
Anne Sinclair, author of My Grandfather’s Gallery and In The Shadow of Paris
An elegy... The book deserves to be read as mourning as much as reportage.
Noah Feldman, author of Scorpions and To Be A Jew Today
