| Synopsis: |
Jeffrey Goldberg moved from Long Island to Israel while still a college student. In the middle of the first Palestinian uprising in 1990, the Israeli army sent him to serve as a prison guard at Ketziot, the largest jail in the Middle East. Realizing that among the prisoners were the future leaders of Palestine, and that this was a unique opportunity to learn from them about themselves, he began an extended dialogue with a prisoner named Rafiq. This is an account of life in that harsh desert prison and of that dialogue - the accusations, explanations, fears, prejudices and aspirations each man expressed-which continues to this day."Prisoners" is a remarkable book: spare, impassioned, energetic, and unstinting in its candour about both the darkness and the hope buried within the animosities of the Middle East. 'The book is full of a refreshing self-deprecatory wit and much insight' - "Sunday Times". 'A lucid, layered memoir' - "The Scotsman". 'A vivid account of the passions and prejudices, the tensions and terrors that exist in every camp, and every household, in today's volatile Middle East' - "Oprah Magazine" (US). |
