The General’s Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine by Miko Peled
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. 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.”
The 10th Anniversary Edition includes Peled’s all-new Preface in which he reflects on the growth of the Palestinian-rights movement since he published the first edition of this work, in 2012.
