Description

Yishai Sarid's Victorious is a gripping examination of the complexities of military service. Abigail, a military psychologist and single mother, has spent her career in the Israeli Army, helping soldiers navigate the trauma of war while instructing commanders on best practices for killing with resilience and efficacy. As her son Shauli approaches the age for military service, Abigail becomes increasingly involved in the lives of the army's Chief of Staff and those of her patients. Her personal beliefs begin to blur with her profession, particularly when her own mental defenses are breached by her son's enlistment in an elite paratroopers unit. This thought-provoking novel forces us to consider the contradictions at the heart of patriotism, national identity, and modern warfare, raising questions about what price we are willing to pay for victory.
