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 an Epilogue Peled takes readers to South Africa, East Asia, many European countries, and the West Bank, Gaza, and Israel itself. And in the new Preface to the 10th Anniversary Edition he reflects on the growth of the Palestinian-rights movement since he published the first edition of this work, in 2012.

Industry Reviews

Alice Walker: "There are few books on the Israel/Palestine issue that seem as hopeful to me as this one... We will share the earth, and care for it together, as friends of each other and to Her, or we will lose it. I look to the examples of 'enemies' becoming friends everywhere in this book to help us continue to carefully choose our way."

Ralph Nader: "The story of Miko Peled... reveals how facts, compassion and a universal sense of justice took hold and inspires this energetic and informed voice for peace."
