About the Book

Kenneth, half Jewish, grows up not knowing who he really is. Reporting on the Eichmann trial in Jerusalem, he learns about the Nazi Holocaust and begins to find his identity as a Jew.

Finding himself also means freeing himself from a failed marriage. On the eve of the Six Days War, he meets Maggie, another journalist, in the Greek Isles, and she too has an identity problem. She follows him to Israel to cover the war with him, and they fall in love in Israel as the war begins.

Against the background of struggling Arab and Israeli armies, they work out who they are and what their future will be.
