About this book

"A brilliant, searing examination of Israel's occupation of the West BankĀ .Ā .Ā . beautiful, passionate, and profoundly disturbing" ( Chicago Tribune ).


The Israeli novelist David Grossman's impassioned account of what he observed on the West Bank in early 1987—not only the misery of the Palestinian refugees and their deep-seated hatred of the Israelis, but also the cost of occupation for both occupier and occupied—is an intimate and urgent moral report on one of the great tragedies of our time.Ā  The Yellow WindĀ caused a sensation upon its original publication. Now with a new introduction by the author, it is essential reading for anyone who seeks a deeper understanding of Israel today.Ā 


"Even the most cautious readers—and even the most hostile—are bound to learn something about the conflict that they never knew before…something dep and achingly, damningly true." — The New York Times Book Review

"Beautifully written and highly perceptive." — The Guardian (UK)

"Intelligent, sympathetic, resonant and accessible." —Nick Hornby, The Sunday Times (UK)

"A revelation of the Israeli-Arab tragedy, beautifully written not from the politicians point of view but that of the ordinary people living through it. A work by a writer of passionate self-honesty, unafraid to ask terrible questions." —Nadine Gordimer
