Description

A powerful personal testimony and urgent call for change, from an unexpected source. Ami Ayalon, former director of Israel's internal security service, shares his deeply personal journey of discovery as he seeks to understand the lives and motivations of Palestinians. Raised in a Zionist family that had fled the Holocaust, Ayalon's life exemplified the country's ideals. However, his appointment as director of Shin Bet forced him to confront the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He gained empathy for 'the enemy' and learned that policies driven by desperation can fuel violence. In this memoir, Ayalon draws radical conclusions about what Israel must do to achieve relative peace and security. With input from Palestinians and Israelis whose experiences differ from his own, he offers a unique perspective on the need for change.
