But after October 7th 2023, a day marking the biggest loss of Jewish life in this century, he retreated inwards to ask himself difficult and necessary questions about his beloved nation:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow could this massacre have happened?\u003cbr\u003eHow could the Netanyahu government, tangled in its web of scandals, fail to protect its citizens?\u003cbr\u003eAnd did October 7 and the war that followed take with it their last hope of a two-state solution?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn eleven essays David Grossman traces the years leading up to that day and the ensuing war through a string of failures by a morally bankrupt party clinging to power. He documents the struggle being fought on both sides between those committed to conflict, and the many who simply want to live in peace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eUltimately, Grossman arrives at the most important question of all: Will there ever be a lasting peace in the region?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grossman, David","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":49542852378963,"sku":"9781787335509","price":13.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Like New","offer_id":53929887039827,"sku":"XE81787335509","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/grossman-david-david-grossman-the-thinking-heart-2024-hardback-9781787335509-59318159376723.jpg?v=1780654541","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/david-grossman-the-thinking-heart-2024-hardback","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
