About This Item
New York, New York, USA: Grove Weidenfeld, 1992. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7. Grove Weidenfeld, 1992. Type: Hardback First Printing. Hardcover Book and Dust Jacket in Near Fine Condition. Archival protective jacket cover. This book comes from the prison diary of someone referred to in Israel as a 'conditional objector", that is, he was ready and willing to perform his military duties provided they were not in the Occupied Territories. This is the author's own experience of being Jewish in a Jewish jail for refusing an order to patrol the West Bank; he was sentenced to 3 weeks, and this experience changed his perception of Israel and the Arab. This is his statement of conscience and an impassioned call to reason as he sees the suffering on both sides and of his love affair with Israel. Bound in black half cloth with copper titles, ivory boards, very clean, lower edges of boards have slight wear, else fine. Internals in fine condition. Jacket has small smudge near spine, otherwise clean, no edgewear, price-clipped. 259 pages. 6.75 x 9.75 inches. 1992, Grove Weidenfield, New York, New York, USA
