AWAKENING TO RADICAL ISLAMIST EVIL: THE HAMAS WAR AGAINST ISRAEL AND THE JEWS

This volume offers the first daily account of the war forced upon the State of Israel by Hamas’s brutal attack on its southern communities near the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023. Focusing on the initial six months of that war, Professor Monty Penkower examines in detail its local, regional, and international significance. Joining extensive research and a limpid prose, as in his many other books on modern Jewish history, this prize-winning historian again displays a definitive mastery of his craft.

Monty Penkower is Professor Emeritus of Modern Jewish History, Machon Lander Graduate School of Jewish Studies (Jerusalem).
