David Grossman's The Yellow Wind is essential reading for anyone who seeks a deeper understanding of Israel today.

The Israeli novelist David Grossman's impassioned account of what he observed on the West Bank in early 1987—not only the misery of the Palestinian refugees and their deep-seated hatred of the Israelis but also the cost of occupation for both occupier and occupied—is an intimate and urgent moral report on one of the great tragedies of our time.

This edition includes a new afterword by the author.
