It was just one small hilltop in a small, unnamed war in the late 1990s, but it would send out ripples that are still felt worldwide today. The hill, in Lebanon, was called the Pumpkin; flowers was the military code word for “casualties.” Award-winning writer Matti Friedman re-creates the harrowing experience of a band of young Israeli soldiers charged with holding this remote outpost, a task that would change them forever, wound the country in ways large and small, and foreshadow the unwinnable conflicts the United States would soon confront in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere.
Matti Friedman is the author of ‘The Aleppo Codex’, which won the 2014 Sami Rohr Prize, the ALA Sophie Brody Medal, and other awards. A former correspondent for the Associated Press, his reporting has taken him from Israel to Morocco, Lebanon, the Caucasus, and Washington, D.C. His work has appeared in the ‘Wall Street Journal’, the ‘Atlantic’, the ‘New York Times’, ‘Tablet’, and other publications. He was born in Toronto and lives in Jerusalem.

评分 评分 评分非虚构作品,以色列在黎巴嫩境内安全区的故事,被消耗的年轻生命拉起缀满倒刺的铁丝网。从1984年至2000年安全区取消,以色列高中生们在此经历的战争事件,大部分进入不了档案,连交战地点都无法在地图上找到,只是被一些母亲铭记在心,因为有些生命就在急促、血腥、猛烈、短暂...
We set up lines, forbid crossing, and safeguard with blood. Arabics, and Jews, neighbors for thousands of years, but enemies in the long-lasting war yet to end. The book is about a wartime dream realized, and yet to be realized. #Thanks to Shanghai Library
