The Attack Yasmina Khadra

Dr. Amin Jaafie, an Israeli Arab, is a surgeon at a hospital in Tel Aviv. Dedicated to his work, respected and admired by his colleagues and community, he represents integration at its most successful. But one night of turmoil and death takes a horrifyingly personal turn. From the graphic, shocking description of the suicide bombing that opens the novel to its searing conclusion, THE ATTACK portrays the reality of terrorism and its incalculable spiritual costs. Intense and humane, devoid of political bias, hatred, and polemic, intensely thoughtful, sensitive and felt, it displays a profound understanding of what can seem impossible to understand.
