Biography: historical, political & military; Peace studies & conflict resolution; History; Middle Eastern history; Political leaders & leadership

A powerful account, by Israeli peace activist Miko Peled, of his transformation from a young man who'd grown up in the heart of Israel's elite and served proudly in its military into a fearless advocate of nonviolent struggle and equal rights for all Palestinians and Israelis. His journey is mirrored in many ways the transformation his father, a much-decorated Israeli general, had undergone three decades earlier.

Alice Walker contributed a foreword to the first edition in which she wrote, ""There are few books on the Israel/Palestine issue that seem as hopeful to me as this one."" In the newEpilogue he takes readers to South Africa, East Asia, several European countries, and the West Bank, Gaza, and Israel itself.

Alice Walker is an activist and a Pulitzer Prize winning author. She has written more than 30 books, including The Color Purple, The Temple of My Familiar, and The Way Forward is With a Broken Heart.
