Yael Dayan – novelist, traveler, soldier, and daughter of a general. This book is her story of a battle for the desert in Israel, written in combat from her own experience, and the mark it left. With poetic spareness, Dayan tells the story of days and nights of dust, heat and hardship; of fallen friends mourned, and fallen enemies grieved over. As stark and unpitying in its truth as the desert, this is a soldier’s story, and a woman’s story, full of remarkable insights and sober contemplations.

The author’s other novels include: “New Face in the Mirror”, “Envy the Frightened” and “Dust”.
