Death as a way of life : dispatches from Jerusalem

In autumn 1993, the Oslo Agreements were signed by Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat, marking the beginning of promise for a constructive peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians.

The ten years that followed were charted first by hope and optimism only to deteriorate into revenge and violence.

Throughout this decade David Grossman has published articles in the American and European press, written in a personal voice - father, husband, peace activist, novelist - as he witnesses devastating events, he cries out with a prophetic wisdom, imploring both sides to return to sanity, to negotiations.

The publication of this collection of articles will mark ten years to the dream of Oslo.
